eSense Muscle Pro Edition (2-Channel EMG Biofeedback with Web & Mobile App)

General information about EMG (electromyography) biofeedback training

The eSense Muscle can measure and train electromyographic muscle activity and transmit it to your computer/smartphone/tablet via Bluetooth®. 

The eSense Muscle is a powerful tool that can measure and train electromyographic biofeedback of muscle activity, transmitting data to your computer, smartphone, or tablet via Bluetooth® for convenient monitoring. 

The musculature of the human body plays an essential role, being the largest energy consumer and accounting for approximately 70-80% of body weight. Muscle contraction generates electrical potential shifts along the fibers of striated muscles, which can be measured at the skin’s surface. This form of measurement, known as surface electromyography, results in an electromyogram, a valuable tool for both performance tracking and biofeedback training. 

Transverse striated muscles, controlled by the somatic nervous system, are subject to voluntary control. Every intentional muscle contraction can be captured in an electromyogram. When EMG electrodes are placed on the skin, any increase in muscle tension immediately reflects an enhanced signal in the EMG. 

In addition to voluntary actions, involuntary responses like stress, inner tension, and emotional experiences can also be measured through EMG as tonic activity. This makes electromyographic biofeedback a vital method for monitoring and managing both muscular and psychophysiological states. The biofeedback training provided by the eSense Muscle can help individuals improve relaxation, reduce stress-induced muscle tension, and enhance rehabilitation processes. 

By observing the interplay between the autonomic and somatic nervous systems, EMG can provide insights into the body’s stress responses. Increased muscle tone often results from heightened sympathetic activity, while decreased muscle tension reflects stronger parasympathetic activation. This balance is key in promoting muscle relaxation and supporting effective rehabilitation.
