“…The LabVIEW is an efficient form of graphical programming language which makes it very attractive for GUI development in clinical applications (Chio et al, 2006;Moore, 1995;Poindessaault et al, 1995). In recent study described in reference (Chio et al, 2006), a GUI has been developed based on LabVIEW program that can produce electrical stimulation signals by tuning the parameters in the interface.…”

This paper introduces a powerful LabVIEW-based toolbox for monitoring, diagnosis and management of vital biosignals [electrocardiogram (ECG) and electromyogram (EMG)]. The main features of this software present in user-friendly graphical user interface, the patient's data management, real-time monitoring of heart and muscles activities, reviewing patient's progress through variety of charts, diagnosis of heart and muscles disorders and data transmission to remote clinician. The experimental validation of this toolbox showed that it has good performance and demonstrated a superior assurance quality in optimising clinical decisions based on real-time analysis of patient's vital signals.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Amer, M.M.B., Qtait, Y., Al-Ebbini, L., Ammary, S. and Awwad, M.

This paper presents a new design for an electrotherapeutic system, characterized by a robust graphical user interface (GUI) design and patient feedback approach in order to guide the electrical stimulation process. This system is based on stimulating the patient by an electric current and analysing the signals generated from his/her body in response to the stimulation effect. The main advantage of this system over the conventional designs is that it is capable of providing self-adjustment of the stimulation parameters during the treatment session to achieve optimal stimulation results that increase the treatment efficiency and reduce the time needed to overcome the patients' impairments. Furthermore, it prevents any harm, pain or fatigue due to online measuring of the fatigue parameters during the treatment session. It is also capable of generating various shapes of stimulation pulses to treat patients with different impairments, and it has a friendly GUI that greatly simplifies patient data management and views the stimulus pulses with their controllable parameters.

“…25 As mentioned, there are a large number of electrical devices for DAQ and biosensors-assisted rehabilitation systems developed for the medical sciences that utilize a desktop PC or laptop for monitoring signals. [26][27][28] However, the growing market for handheld tablet PC technologies in medical environments has powered the need for effective alternate solutions. A tablet PC is a type of mobile computer and usually has a touch screen or pen-enabled interface.…”

This article describes the design of a robust, inexpensive, easy-to-use, small, and portable online electromyography acquisition system for monitoring electromyography signals during rehabilitation. This single-channel (one-muscle) system was connected via the universal serial bus port to a programmable Windows operating system handheld tablet personal computer for storage and analysis of the data by the end user. The raw electromyography signals were amplified in order to convert them to an observable scale. The inherent noise of 50 Hz (Malaysia) from power lines electromagnetic interference was then eliminated using a single-hybrid IC notch filter. These signals were sampled by a signal processing module and converted into 24-bit digital data. An algorithm was developed and programmed to transmit the digital data to the computer, where it was reassembled and displayed in the computer using software. Finally, the following device was furnished with the graphical user interface to display the online muscle strength streaming signal in a handheld tablet personal computer. This battery-operated system was tested on the biceps brachii muscles of 20 healthy subjects, and the results were compared to those obtained with a commercial single-channel (one-muscle) electromyography acquisition system. The results obtained using the developed device when compared to those obtained from a commercially available physiological signal monitoring system for activities involving muscle contractions were found to be comparable (the comparison of various statistical parameters) between male and female subjects. In addition, the key advantage of this developed system over the conventional desktop personal computer-based acquisition systems is its portability due to the use of a tablet personal computer in which the results are accessible graphically as well as stored in text (comma-separated value) form.
