Setting the Electrode-Skin Distance (continued)
The soft rubber electrodes adapt to the shape of the body
and are held to the body with elastic bands or with small
sandbags. The desired Electrode-Skin Distance can be
achieved by placing a variable number of felt layers
underneath.
The inductive eddy-current electrodes (diode, and diplode)
are generally placed in contact with the patient’s body.
Set the Electrode-Skin Distance accordingly.
