6 Electrodes
The therapy can be realized without any problem with suction electrodes, rubber or plate electrodes. Plate
electrodes and rubber electrodes are appropriate for large-area treatments.
6.1 Electrode Positioning
The positioning of the patient
and/or muscle to be treated is very important. The therapy shall always be
carried out in a comfortable and relaxed position. The joints shall be located in an angular position, so that
they are placed in a mid-position, from which both the flexor as well as the extensor muscles can be
stimulated.
In general the preparation and application of the electrodes is carried out as follows:
1. Always put a wet electrode intermediate layer or electrode pocket between the electrode and the skin in
order to avoid current sensations on the skin. The layer must always be about 1 cm larger than the
electrode itself.
2. Put the electrode completely into the electrode pocket, so that the pocket protrudes on the open side
with about 1 cm.
3. After multiple use the electrode intermediate layer or electrode pocket can slightly shrink. If the
distance of about 1 cm is no longer given, the intermediate layer or pocket must be replaced.
4. Prior to the initial use, the macroporous intermediate layers and pockets made of viscose sponge must
be thoroughly washed out under running water to remove manufacturing residues.
5. To moisten the intermediate layer or pocket put them into normal tap water, or better into 1% salt
solution. The intermediate layers or pockets should be soaked; remove them and let them drop; do
not
wring them out.
6. If necessary, flatten deformed electrodes, insert them into the pocket and/or put them on the
intermediate layer. Put them on the area to be treated and fit them to the given body surface. Use only
thick and well moistened sponges.
7. Apply the holding strap in a way that the electrode fits completely.
8. The sponge pockets or intermediate layers have to be cleaned after the expiration of treatment, see
!!
Note!
The above mentioned applies for the application of suction electrodes accordingly.
