Abstract: The present invention is related to a medical device for monitoring limb muscle behaviour in a patient, said limb corresponding to a leg, an arm, or the neck, said medical device comprising: a moving unit (1) adapted to receive a first part of a limb, said moving unit (1) presenting at least one degree of freedom (11) according to which the moving unit (1) may move; a haptic device (6) adapted to receive a second part of the limb and to measure in the form of an analogical signal the mechanical response of said second part to a movement of the moving unit (1); a set of electromyographic electrodes (4) able to measure in the form of an analogical signal the electrical activities in the muscle(s) of the limb; an analogical signal acquisition unit (9) able to acquire the analogical signals from the electromyographic electrodes and the haptic device (6) and converting said analogical signals into digital signals; a controller (8) able to process said digital signals and to control the moving unit (1).

Abstract: A portable medical device for automatically monitoring of electrical activity of target areas inside a patient is described. The medical device is based on a wireless communication network and includes a measuring unit that measures electrical signals at the surface of two target areas and a processing unit connected to the measuring unit. The processing unit includes a slave unit and a master unit for collecting and analyzing the measured electrical signals and presenting the result of the analysis for a clinician. The processing unit also includes a visualization unit connected to the master unit and an optional basic unit for at least presenting the result of the electrical signals and analysis, where the master unit and the basic unit perform an analysis of the electrical signals including an analysis of the coherence between the first and second sets of electrical signals as a function of the monitoring frequency.

Abstract: Embodiments of a sensing device for measuring muscle activity comprise an interface with electrodes, an active amplifier, and an electronic circuit in connection with a display, said display comprising at least one semiconducting polymer LED.
