A grid (20) forming a regular pattern of holes (22) provides a substrate on which to mount electrical stimulation electrodes. The electrodes are carried by two part receptacles (30, 31). One receptacle part has fingers which extend through the holes - the other part has locking means which disengageably lock with the fingers. Thus the parts can be locked together across the grid, but they can be disengaged and moved to another location on the grid (20). The parts form a conductive path between an external current-carrying wire lead (60) and the electrode (70). The grid is mounted to a frame forming a cuff. The frame is shaped to provide a locator which conforms to a bony protrusion on the limb to be stimulated. Thus, a clinician can move the electrodes around on the grid to optimally position them. When the user dons the cuff, the locator automatically positions the electrodes over the desired stimulation sites. |
