The OctaMon Muscle is an eight-channel wearable NIRS device meticulously designed for optimal muscle oxygenation measurements. Monitoring changes in oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, and total hemoglobin is made regionally possible with its two times four-channel configuration. Customizable channel widths offer versatility, catering to the diverse settings often required in sports science research. This lightweight, plug-and-play device requires minimal setup time, ensuring swift integration into your research. Utilizing multi-channel LEDs, the OctaMon Muscle provides continuous real-time feedback through our accompanying data analysis software.
The OctaMon Muscle research package facilitates the seamless monitoring of muscle oxygenation, ensuring accessibility and ease-of-use. Hyperscanning, which involves monitoring multiple subjects simultaneously, is made possible through our proprietary software, allowing the integration of different NIRS devices into a unified data stream. Tests can be conducted in both traditional laboratory settings and field environments, with the device connected via Bluetooth, providing a range of up to 100 meters to the laptop.
The OctaMon Muscle enables the non-invasive analysis of regional differences in oxygenation and agonist-antagonist functioning. Its flat optode design ensures comfort during wear, making it suitable for elite athletes and patients undergoing rehabilitation studies. With customizable channel lengths and configuration options, research projects can span from grip strength measurements on the lower arm for elite climbers to lower limb assessments in patient groups with Peripheral Artery Disease.
