USB flash drive containing the latest myoResearch 3 software.
1. Insert the MR3 USB flash drive into the PC
2. A menu will automatically pop up
3. Click on the Noraxon installation file and follow the Wizard’s
instructions
3.2 Acti ating the Software
The installed companion software must e activated efore unrestricted use is possi le.
1. Open MR3
2. A dialog ox will indicate how many more times MR3 can e
opened
3. Click on “Activate”
4. Enter the License ID provided on your USB flash drive and
press “OK”
5. If you have an internet connection, click Activate y Internet
for immediate activation
6. Alternatively, email the provided activation ID to
[e-mail] Noraxon Support will email or
respond y phone with the Activation Code. Enter the
provided Activation Code to remove any restrictions on use.
4 Configuring the Hardware
Before the myoMOTION system can e used, the device software settings must e configured to recognize the different
components that make up the system. Follow the elow instructions to update the receiver firmware, sensor firmware, and
populate sensors to prepare for a data collection.
Step 1
Open MR3, typically listed under Noraxon -> R3

5 Attaching the Sensors
Before performing a recording, decide which ody segments will e included in the recording. The sensors can e attached
with the provided fixation straps. For fast or impact related movements, we recommend additional fixation of the sensors
with the use of elastic self-adhesive tape.
Sensor configuration, placement, and fixation est practices are further detailed and explained in the myoMOTION
Hardware User Manual. What is listed here is only a summary.

5.1 Sensor Placement Locations
5.2 Sensor Placement Orientation
 Sensors must e placed so the Noraxon logo is facing away from the su ject.
 The positive x-coordinate on the sensor la el should have a superior orientation (i.e. up to the sky/ceiling) for the
trunk, head, and pelvis. The lim segments sensors should have the positive x-coordinate in line with a proximal
orientation (i.e. towards the proximal joint along the long axis of the one segment).
 Exception: For the foot sensor, the X-coordinate points distally (to the toes).
