Surface EMG Enters The Kit

Kinvent Advanced Pack

The Kinvent Advanced Pack brings surface EMG into force testing, with the K-Myo working beside the K-Force Plates, K-Push, K-Pull, K-Move, K-Grip and K-Bubble. The K-Myo reads the electrical activity of the muscle underneath it at 1000 Hz, and the app reports the result as a percentage of maximum voluntary contraction. Each K-Myo carries two channels, one built in and one through a 3.5 mm jack for an EMG lead to a second muscle. Twelve months of the Excellence tier in the Kinvent app are included, covering twenty devices and raw-data export.

Its buyer is the practitioner or performance team who has run out of answers a force number alone can give, and who wants activation timing recorded on the same profile as the force. The six mechanical sensors record how much force was produced and through what range. The K-Myo records which muscle was working while that happened, and when it fired, which puts a different class of information on the same timeline.

On the floor, the K-Force Plates return center of pressure, weight distribution and a Limb Symmetry Index from each standing trial. Run a standing task with the K-Myo applied and the same effort produces a distribution figure and an activation trace at once. The four handheld sensors and the goniometer fill in the rest of the battery. The isometric mid-thigh pull, a Premium protocol, runs on the plates or through the K-Pull, the K-Push takes isometric strength, and the K-Grip adds the hand.

After an injury, the K-Move compares the injured limb with the healthy one, and the K-Myo shows whether the recovering side is recruiting the muscle at all. An athlete watching their own trace can be corrected inside the rep rather than after it, and motor re-education sits beside assessment as a use for the live EMG signal. Alongside it, the K-Move sets game targets as a percentage of a stored maximum across ten difficulty levels.
