EMG and ETS Threshold  

Threshold is an EMG value measured in microvolts (µV). Stronger muscles which perform strong contractions have a higher threshold than weak or flaccid muscles. In ETS mode (EMG Triggered Stimulation), the user / patient needs to exceed to contract the muscles above the target threshold to trigger stimulation.

Nu-Tek Maxi Plus2 enables you to select from an Automatic Threshold or Manual Threshold. Automatic Threshold is pre-set at 80% of the actual (previous) Work Average, whilst the Manual Threshold is manually adjustable by the therapist or the user.
