The laptop shown in the picture shows a wire plugged into the side and the
software. The wire goes to something else and does not come with the
Myovision. The software that I will provide is not my original CD shown here
but I will burn you a copy, if you ask for one. You shouldn't need it with this laptop.
This is the most recent screen design for the Myovision 8000 that I am aware of. Older software
versions show a much less cool screen display. Some of the ones you see on ebay
can be early generation software and look quite primitive compared to this
version.
It's not a bad idea having two Myovision
laptops to hook your Myovision up to in case you or your helper drop the laptop
at an event, or someone's kid is running thru the farmers market chasing
another kid and knocks your computer on the ground and breaks it, and now your
Myovision doesn't work. See my other listings to purchase an additional laptop for your Myovision with validated software.
Many doc's have purchased these units for doing shows, farmers markets
or other events to show potential patients problem areas, in a quick check of
their neck and back, to bring them in to get help. (See, you knew something was
up with your neck as you've been feeling this way on and off for a while now,
and there it is on the screen....)
I have used Myovision units regularly in my offices for exams, re exams,
screenings, etc for close to 18 years.
You will once in a while see a Myovision unit on ebay, however they are
probably sold by someone who knows nothing about it or how it works. This
one is being sold by a doc who actually uses them regularly, knows what pieces
it should have with it so you can use it out of the box without having to
locate parts out on the internet. Other sellers who may or may not be a doc,
and have somehow gotten it somewhere (like in a storage unit contents sale), may have never used one, or haven't used
it in a long time. They would have no idea that
they are not selling a functional myovision set up, and wires may be missing, or adapters, electrode holders, electrodes, etc.
If you can find these pieces out there somewhere on the net they usually cost
like hell. The seller may not have the software, and they rarely come with a
laptop with the software installed and validated, let alone a decent laptop! You also need to have a port on your laptop, if
installing the software on your laptop, that the myovision cord can
connect to, and many laptops do not. A Myovision 8000 was designed to
be used with an XP
computer, with the correct port configuration. Some sellers successfully
install myovision software on Vista or
Windows 10 apparently, but since it wasn't designed for those operating
system
the readings, bar sizes, etc are likely to be corrupted and inaccurate. I
wouldn't want to trust erroneous readings. I saw a Vista install with
red and
blue ovals on the sp's instead of bars!

As I said above, most doc's who buy it use it for
events. This unit also provides a great addition to your exams and re exams if
you wish to use it during them. The colorful graph print out, with your office
name, address and number on it as well as the patient's name, will give you a
much more powerful report of findings that they can take home with them to show
others who might wish to be checked by you. I have regularly used the Myovision
as part of my exams for years.
Sometimes doc's have heard of Myovisions and thought about getting one but
haven't, due to not knowing how to use one once they get it. As part of
the sale, I will include an icon on the desktop to watch videos on how to use it, how to set it up for use
(what plugs into where), how to stick your office info on it, how to calibrate
it, etc, and even a powerpoint that you can leave on for patients to watch in
it's repeating loop at the event or in your office.
You use this static sEMG to check the whole spine with the patient standing
still. It's used to examine how well the patient's muscles are doing the job of
holding them up. Are they working just right, is that area not able to do it's
job so other muscles must work harder to hold them up, are some areas working
way too hard, etc.
There are different types of Myovisions out
there.
The 3000 and 4000 are basic models whereas the 8000 can accept different
plug in modules. The newer ones which cost a heck of a lot more are
wireless 3G or 4G. The
Myovision 8000 I am selling is a wired unit. The wired units do what the
wireless ones do, they just have wires attached to the electrodes. I
suppose
the wireless ones have more of a coolness factor, but if they both do
pretty much
the same thing, why spend thousands more? I have only used wired
Myovisions in
my offices and still do to this day.
As I said, this Myovision is ready to use right out of the box. Pull it
out,
click the icon on the desktop and watch the video on how to hook
everything up
in the proper spots and proper order. In about a half hour you are
practicing how to use it on your friend or patient. It comes with the
laptop and the various wires, adapters and other hardware components.
I hook this up and test it one last time just before mailing it out, so rest
assured it will work great for you.
After you have paid for it and received it in the mail I will be happy to talk
to you by email if you have any questions about
how to use it. You'll probably have all questions answered on the videos.
This is a great deal! Don't blink and miss it!
