14.4.3 electrode position
Two channels are needed for the stimulation of the abdominal muscles:
Four large electrodes are positioned on the abdomen, one above, one below and one either side of the
belly button.
For optimum effectiveness, the positive pole should preferably be positioned on the upper electrode.
Two further channels are needed for the simultaneous stimulation of the lumbar muscles, one for the right
side and the other for the left side.
Two small electrodes are placed on the muscle body at the level of the lowest lumbar vertebrae at one
finger’s breadth distance from the spinous processes on both sides. Two small electrodes are placed 2
finger’s breadths above the body of the paravertebral muscles.
For optimum effectiveness, the positive pole should preferably be positioned on the lower electrodes.
