Physiology Suite
Standard physiology based protocols
The Physiology Suite includes all the tools you need for multi-modality physiological assessments and over 80 display screens for training with standard physiological sensors including heart rate with EKG or blood volume pulse (BVP), electromyography (EMG), skin conductance, temperature and respiration. Using the Physiology suite, you can train self-regulation with physiological biofeedback protocols that include relaxation with EMG, temperature or skin conductance, heart rate variability with respiration and EKG or BVP and abdominal/thoracic breathing. The suite also features a full-length relaxation exercise script with a recorded audio track guiding the client through deep relaxation and progressive recovery.
For your clinical assessments and follow-ups, the suite incorporates pre and post-training baseline assessment scripts and a 7-activity Stress Assessment script which takes the client through three cycles of stress induction and relaxation steps, including color words, math task and stressful event recall. Using the stress assessment script, you can rapidly identify any hyper- or hypo-reactivity in any of the recorded modalities.
Must have Thought Technology's BioGraph 5.1.1 or later to run the Physiology Suite

The Physiology Suite contains a complete set of standard biofeedback tools to get a total physiological perspective on your client’s sympathetic and parasympathetic processes, including: Temperature, Skin Conductance, Surface EMG, Respiration and Heart rate variability (HRV). The Physiology suite contains more than 80 screens and over 14 scripts, and provides you with advanced tools for assessment and follow-up:
- Pre/post baseline assessment• SC verbal Relaxation exercise
- Training scripts (10 x 1 min trials)
- A 7 activity stress assessment script that takes your client througha sequence of stress/relax cycles and generates a report to rapidlyidentify hyper- or hypo-reactivity in each modality.
The Physiology and EEG Suites offer 17 new animations, 15 MP3 (music & ambiance), 20 MIDI songs and many other new multimedia feedback options:
- DVD (4 action control: shrink, zoom, pause & sound)
- Morphing animation sequences, 3 stage puzzles
- Nature sound audio tracks
Benefits of Biofeedback
Training
By providing the patient, and their
therapist, access to muscular information about which they are both generally
unaware, biofeedback provides accurate, reliable, measurable, objective data to
augment and support the subjective reporting of the patient and observations of
the therapist.
Muscle activity can be recorded and
used to provide both instant feedback for motivation, learning and improved
rehabilitation and display trend reports over sessions, to demonstrate with
objective numbers, the value of the therapy both to the patient and the service
provider or payer.
Audio Visuals Can Make A World of
Difference
Comprehensive use of animations and
sounds provide relevant rehabilitation goals and activities to keep patients
motivated at the highest level:
• Single and dual channel line graphs,
bar graphs and digital displays
• Spectral displays
• Median frequency for
muscle fatigue assessment
• Above and below threshold sound feedback options
• A wide variety of sounds and music
• Animations
• Video
•
Templates include a range of simple to challenging visual traces for your
patients to follow
The
Suite comes with a number of pre-made templates - or you can create your
own.
