The invention relates to an electrotherapy apparatus facilitating accurate and repeatable application to a neuromuscular area to be treated by a patient. The apparatus comprises a flexible garment (12) adapted to be worn by the patient. Stimulation electrodes (10) are attachable to the body-facing surface of the garment (12) on at least a predetermined portion(s) thereof. An array of spaced through passages (14) are provided in two dimensions throughout the surface area of at least the predetermined portion(s) of the garment (12) to allow passage of a connection means, such as a lead wire (L) or a stud fastener, connecting the electrode (10) to an external stimulation apparatus. The invention also discloses a method of preparing the electrotherapy apparatus for subsequent use by the patient. |
