Where do you place the electrodes for shoulder flexion?

A useful teaching aid for placing these electrodes accurately- they should fit beneath a relaxed hand placed over the shoulder with your middle finger over supraspinatus, your thumb over the posterior deltoid electrode, palm over middle deltoid and 5th finger over anterior deltoid.

Does EMS burn calories?

EMS burns much higher calories as it works out much more muscles compared to a conventional workout. In a conventional workout, only 30% of the muscles are being activated each time, however, with Wiemspro whole body EMS, between 70%-80% of the muscle groups are activated simultaneously.

How can I extend my fingers?

Thumb Extension

1. Put your hand flat on a table. Wrap a rubber band around your hand at the base of your finger joints.
2. Gently move your thumb away from your fingers as far as you can.
3. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds and release.
4. Repeat 10 to 15 times with both hands.

How do you place electrodes for NMES?

The proper electrode placement is one over the distal quad/VMO area (and yes I’m fully aware that you can’t selectively activate the VMO and I hate when clinicians say someone needs to strengthen their VMO) and the other electrode should go over the quad’s proximal motor point.

Where should quad electrodes be placed?

Place one 2×2 electrode on the VMO which is the knot on the inside, at the end of your quad just above the knee. Place the other 2×2 electrode at the end of the vastus lateralis which is the muscle that runs down the outside of the quad.

How are electrodes used for finger extension and flexion?

A searching procedure was used to traverse all grid points to identify the stimulation points for finger extension/flexion by applying monophasic stimulation pulses.

How are finger stimulation points selected for flexion?

Some of the stimulation points for finger extension and flexion were selected and tested in their respective two different forearm postures according to the number and the type of the activated fingers and the strength of finger action response to the electrical stimulation at the stimulation point.

Why are electrodes placed on the forearm as they are?

To investigate whether small changes in electrode placement in a forearm posture and the relative displacement of the stimulation point (resulting from rotation of the forearm) influence the activation threshold and selective range of each individual finger;

How are electrodes placed in the upper limb?

The success of one’s recovery using electrical stimulation will rely heavily on proper electrode placement. Listed below are some key video examples of upper limb electrode positioning by Axelgaard.
