Electrode Placement

Determined2Heal Tips:

Never try any of these electrode placements without first reviewing them with a trained and skilled physical therapist.  Every person's body is different, especially people with spinal cord injuries. An individual with a spinal cord injury no longer communicates at 100% efficiency with their muscles and nerves.  Because of this it is essential that a skilled professional develops the electrical stimulation program.  Without skilled training an individual attempting to create their own electrical stimulation program may pose a greater potential to harm themselves.

How often should I replace electrodes?

Usually an electrode will last anywhere from 15 to 30 uses.  When the electrode stops sticking it should be replaced.

What can I do to make electrodes last longer?

Adding a few drops of water on the electrode surface before and after use will increase the electrodes life expectancy.  Remember to replace electrodes once they do not stick well.
