EMG+STIM PATIENT PREPARATION (continued)
Using Dura-Stick™ II 3 cm (1.250")
electrodes, place the Active (red and
black lead) electrodes in the center of the
muscle belly and parallel with the muscle
fibers.
Position the Reference electrode (green
lead) in close proximity of the treatment
area. Review the specific Electrode
Placement graphic for positioning of the
Reference (green lead) electrode.
NOTE:
The electrodes may be placed for specific,
general and quasi-specific biofeedback
muscle or muscle group activity.
Using small electrodes and placing them
closer together will render a more specific
reading of muscle activity during sEMG
and sEMG + Stim therapy.
The Active electrodes may
be placed farther apart to
obtain a general reading
of a muscle or muscle group
activity during the session.
DJO recommends
using only Dura-Stick™ II
electrodes to obtain the
most accurate sEMG
feedback.
Follow the electrode
manufacturer instructions.
Trimming or cutting electrodes may
interfere with the reception of sEMG data
and may affect the delivery of electrical
stimulation in the sEMG + Stim Modality.
•
Keep stim electrodes separated during sEMG + Stim treatment.
Electrodes in contact with each other could result in improper
stimulation or skin burns.
•
Long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
•
Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior neck or
mouth. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles
may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to close
the airway or cause difficulty in breathing.
If using the Intra-Vaginal Probe for
Incontinence Therapy, plug the active
ends of the sEMG lead wire (red and black)
into the Intra-Vaginal Probe.
The Intra-Vaginal Probe is for single
patient use only. Refer to the instructions
packaged with the probe for proper use,
care and disposal.
