Portable Surface Electromyograph

Kinvent K-Myo Duo Pack

K-Myo is a wireless, wearable surface EMG sensor. It sits on the skin over the muscle you want to read and captures the electrical activity that muscle produces while it is working, which the Kinvent app returns as real-time muscle activation data during movement. Nothing is inserted and no cable runs back to a base station.

This listing is the Duo Pack: two sensors and two K-Myo Pack accessories. The second sensor is the reason to buy the pair. Kinvent list simultaneous assessment of multiple muscle groups as a capability of the sensor, so two units let you record one limb against the other, or a muscle against its opposite number across the same joint, inside one session rather than two. The variant menu also carries a single sensor under SKU 15-4348 if one recording site is all you need. Kinvent name clinicians, trainers and researchers as the people using K-Myo, in clinical, sports and rehabilitation settings.

The Signal

What a surface EMG sensor puts on the screen

Electromyography reads the electrical activity a muscle generates as it contracts. Taken at the skin, it is a measurement you can add to a session in the time it takes to place a sensor.

⚡
Muscle activity read at the skin
The sensor captures the electrical activity of the muscle underneath it. Kinvent describe this as high-precision muscle monitoring used to evaluate strength, coordination and motor control, which is the part a force number on its own cannot tell you.
Surface EMG
2️⃣
Two sensors, two muscles at once
Kinvent list simultaneous assessment of multiple muscle groups as a K-Myo capability. With two units both sites report on the same timeline, and a single trace becomes a comparison you can actually read.
2 sensors supplied
📡
Wireless, wearable, non-invasive
Each unit is compact and worn on the body, so the athlete moves the way they normally would. Kinvent point to that compact wireless build as what makes the sensor work in clinical, sports and rehabilitation settings rather than only at a bench.
Nothing inserted
📲
Reads straight into the Kinvent app
K-Myo connects to the Kinvent app, which delivers the EMG data on muscle activation, timing and coordination. The same app holds the force and angle readings from the rest of the Kinvent range, so one profile carries all of it.

Closer Look

The pair in use

Placement

Two sites, one recording

Each sensor goes over the muscle you want to read, and both record together. That is what turns an observation about one muscle into a comparison: two muscle bellies on opposite limbs, or a pair working against each other across the same joint. The application is at the skin surface, so a site can be moved between sets without any of the setup an invasive method would need.

  • Two K-Myo units supplied in the Duo Pack
  • Two K-Myo Pack accessories supplied with them
  • Surface application, nothing inserted
  • Both sites recorded in the same session

Live feedback

The trace runs while the effort does

Kinvent describe K-Myo as capturing real-time muscle activation data during movement, with real-time EMG feedback in the app. That is the difference between a test you score afterwards and a cue the athlete can respond to mid-rep, which is what makes the sensor usable for motor re-education rather than measurement alone.

  • Real-time EMG feedback during the movement
  • Muscle activation patterns monitored as they happen
  • Records held under the profile in the Kinvent app
  • Used for assessment and for motor re-education

Connection

Electrode cables, colour coded

The sensor reaches the skin through multi-coloured electrode cables, which is how the recording site is set without the sensor body itself having to sit exactly over the muscle belly. The colour coding is there so that two sensors running at once stay identifiable when you come to read the two traces back.

  • Multi-coloured electrode cables for sensor connectivity
  • Non-invasive surface electrodes
  • Two sets in the Duo Pack, one per sensor
Colour coded Non-invasive

In The App

What the Kinvent app reports

The reading does not stop at a live trace. The recording is kept against the athlete's profile, which is what lets one session be read against the last one.

Activation, timing and coordination, side by side

K-Myo connects to the Kinvent app, which delivers real-time EMG data on muscle activation, timing and coordination. Kinvent position that data as the basis for assessing neuromuscular control, guiding motor re-education and tracking progress. With both sensors running, the two recorded muscles appear together, which is where a side-to-side difference or a firing-order problem stops being a hunch and becomes something on the screen you can show the athlete.

Activation Muscle activation patterns
Timing When each muscle fires
Coordination How the muscles work together
Progress Compared across sessions
  • Visualise, track and compare muscle performance in the app
  • Assess neuromuscular control from the recorded signal
  • Guide motor re-education with the trace in front of the athlete
  • Held on the same profile as force and angle data from other Kinvent sensors

Where It Earns Its Place

The applications Kinvent publish for K-Myo

Four of these are Kinvent's own application headings. The other two come from the capabilities they list for the sensor and the app.

📊
Muscle Activation & Performance Analysis
Tracks muscle engagement during exercise, which is where strength imbalances and training efficiency show up.
🩺
Rehabilitation & Injury Prevention
Kinvent position it as a way for physiotherapists and clinicians to assess muscle function recovery and target the protocol accordingly.
🔬
Biomechanics & Movement Science
Supports sports scientists and researchers studying muscle coordination, fatigue and motor learning.
🏋️
Strength Training Optimisation
Used by coaches and athletes to refine exercise technique against what the muscle is actually doing under the bar.
🔁
Motor Re-education
Kinvent list guiding motor re-education among the things the real-time app data is for, with the athlete watching their own trace.
🧩
Multi-Muscle Assessment
Simultaneous assessment of multiple muscle groups, which is what the second sensor in the Duo Pack is there to do.

The Kinvent Range

Three sensors, three different questions

K-Myo reads the electrical side of a movement. The other two read the mechanical side, one as force and one as joint angle. All three report into the Kinvent app.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The electrical activity of muscle, read at the skin. Kinvent classify it as a portable surface electromyograph, and the app reports the signal as muscle activation, timing and coordination.
Two sensors and two K-Myo Pack accessories. A single sensor is also available on this listing under SKU 15-4348 if you only need one recording site.
Because a second sensor turns a reading into a comparison. Kinvent list simultaneous assessment of multiple muscle groups as a K-Myo capability, so two units record two muscles together and you can look at one limb against the other, or at two muscles working across the same joint, without running the test twice.
No. Kinvent describe K-Myo as non-invasive and portable. The sensor is worn on the body and reaches the muscle through surface electrodes on the skin.
Yes. Kinvent describe the sensor as capturing real-time muscle activation data during movement, with real-time EMG feedback in the app. That is what makes it usable for motor re-education and not only for after-the-fact scoring.
Kinvent state a high sampling rate for K-Myo but publish no figure in Hz. We will not print a number they have not stated, so treat the sampling frequency as unconfirmed and ask Kinvent directly if a research protocol depends on it.
Kinvent list a long battery life for K-Myo without stating a figure in hours. An unquantified claim is one we leave off the spec sheet, so the battery row above says not published rather than guessing at a number.
Kinvent publish no warranty terms on the K-Myo product page. Contact us before ordering if warranty length matters to the purchase and we will confirm the current terms with Kinvent rather than quote something they have not printed.
Kinvent publish no accuracy figure for K-Myo. What they do publish is the description of the sensor as high-precision muscle monitoring and the certifications covering their quality management and medical device systems, which are listed above. Those are company and system certifications, not a measured accuracy spec for this sensor.
The Kinvent app, wirelessly. Kinvent do not publish the wireless standard or the supported device list on this page. The app is the same one the rest of the Kinvent sensors report into, so an EMG trace can sit under the same profile as a force or angle reading.
Kinvent name clinicians, trainers and researchers, and list clinical, sports and rehabilitation settings for the sensor. Their published applications run from rehabilitation and injury prevention through to strength training work with coaches and athletes.
4.41 lbs and 11.81 in × 13.78 in × 9.84 in. Those figures describe the Duo Pack as supplied, not one sensor on its own. Kinvent do not publish the dimensions or weight of an individual K-Myo unit.
