BTS/SIMFER2010 Prize

The BTS Prize has been created in conjunction with the Organizing Committee of the Annual Conference of Italian Society of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation (Comitato Organizzatore del Congresso Annuale della Società Italiana di Medicina Fisica e Riabilitazione). The prize goes to the best scientific contribution to functional assessment analysis of movement applied to rehabilitation using new technology.
The prize, consisting of a 5 day internship at the Guttmann Institute at the University of Barcelona, was awarded to work presented by Padova Hospital, Department of Orthopedic Rehabilitation and by the University of Padova, Department of Information Engineering.
BTS congratulates the winners for their work.

New addition to the family BTS FREEEMG, BTS surface electromyography with wireless sensor.

BTS announces the launch of BTS FREEEMG 300: the latest version BTS portable surface EMG with wireless sensor.   The new receiver is even more powerful with more than a 40% increase in actual range. Equipped with new batteries, the sensors can hold more than 5 hours of continuous data; in addition, the onboard memory pad ensures the system against data loss from temporary Wi-Fi network interruptions and enables sensor use beyond the useful operating range. BTS FREEEMG 300 is 100% compatible with all the movement analysis systems thanks to the brand new Analog Output Receiver that makes EMG data available in analog format, contemporaneously with the wireless digital transmission.
