Dome selection is based on the patient’s needs. Medium electrodes are most
commonly used, however, if the patient has significant soft tissue over the
myoelectric sites, the large electrodes are recommended. Paediatric electrodes are
for paediatric applications.

4.3 Electrode Placement
Since the electrodes are independent, the clinician can place these where they want
in the socket. Each site has two active electrodes. In general, each pair of electrodes
should lie along the longitudinal axis of the muscle with an edge-to-edge spacing of
not more than 1cm. An additional pair of reference electrodes (grounds) should be
located off-axis, away from the active electrodes where they will not interfere with
muscle signals.
