摘要 |
The invention provides a set of electrode positioners for skin-contacting surface electrodes used for electrical muscular stimulation in conjunction with a splint, the set including at least one electrode positioner in the form of a scoop-like structure, the concave surface of which substantially fits a first surface of a patient's limb; at least one surface electrode of a predetermined size, location and orientation, fixedly attached to the concave surface, and a terminal element for connecting the at least one electrode to a source of stimulation current, the terminal element being accessible from the rear side of the concave surface, wherein the electrode positioner is configured to be introductive between the surface of the limb and an interior surface of the splint, an element is also provided to arrest the positioner in a predetermined and reproducible final position relative to the splint.
