## What is CURO Canine?

OVERVIEW: The CURO Canine app is designed for Veterinarians and Dog Trainers and works together
with a MyoDynamik CURO system to record muscle contractions during periods of physical activity.CURO-Diagnostics ApS
Developer
BACKGROUND: Acoustic Myography (AMG) (also known as phonomyography, sound myography,
vibromyography, and surface mechanomyogram) is a technique that measures the low frequency sounds
(1 Hz to 200 Hz) created during muscular activity — sounds that can often be heard with ones ear pressed
up against a contracting muscle.
VETERINARIANS: can use this tool to help them locate and assess a muscle related injury. Our CURO
system is capable of accurately recording the contractions made by active muscles — no need to shave or
prepare the dog.
DOG TRAINERS: can use the CURO to better assess a dog's strength, endurance, efficiency and
coordination as well as better identify muscle injuries and follow their recovery.
- Simply select the muscle/muscles of interest using our app
- Rub in our acoustic gel to ensure good acoustic contact with the dogs skin
- Place our sensor on the gel
- Tape the sensor in place with the bandage provided
- Connect the sensor to the CURO
- Activate the CURO and establish a WiFi link with our app
- Start recording in real-time
The applications for which the CURO has been tested include:
- Muscle imbalance assessment
- Muscle wasting assessment
- Training tool — with fatigue assessment
- Jumping tool — with take-off and landing 
- Lameness assessment

The CURO system not only presents muscle sounds in real-time it also provides a real-time balance score
to enable you to detect muscle imbalances with the aid of our unique ESTi-TM Score. 
AMG-measurements are sent to an iPad so you can immediately see how your dog's muscles function.

ESTi TM INTERPRETATION: The CURO system is unique in that it measures the number of active fibers
(spatial summation; S) and the frequency with which they contract (temporal summation; T) as well as the
way in which the Central Nervous System (CNS) recruits and uses the active fibers in a muscle (synchrony/
efficiency; E). It is only by combining the timing aspect of muscle fiber contraction that one can start to
assess the synchrony with which the CNS recruits active fibers in a muscle — and in so doing, more
accurately determine the significance of both the signal amplitude and frequency.

E - Efficiency: the E-parameter refers to the period of muscle fiber activity during a recorded period of
exercise — muscle efficiency. A high score obtained during moderate to high levels of exercise is a sign of a
very well trained and highly coordinated / efficient muscle movement.

S — Spatial summation: the S-parameter refers to the number of muscle fibers recruited during a
movement, as part of exercise or a muscle contraction. A high score obtained during moderate to high
levels of exercise is a sign of a very well trained and highly coordinated muscle movement.

T — Temporal summation: the T-parameter refers to the speed with which muscle fibers are activated
repeatedly during a movement, as part of exercise or a muscle contraction. A high score obtained during
moderate to high levels of exercise is a sign of a very well trained and highly coordinated muscle
movement.

In addition to these individual scores, the CURO system calculates the ESTi TM Balance for muscle groups
— allowing the user to quickly assess muscle imbalances in the body that could give rise to lameness or
early fatigue and muscle soreness.

ESTi Balance:
± 10% from ZERO = MILD IMBALANCE
± 20% from ZERO = MODERATE IMBALANCE
> ± 20% from ZERO = SERIOUS IMBALANCE
