14.6.3 electrode position
The stimulation sequence means that the order of channel numbers must be complied with, as the
stimulation of the hamstrings must start before that of the quadriceps.
Channels 1 and 2 are used to stimulate the hamstrings, and channels 3 and 4 are used to stimulate the
quadriceps.
For this program, it is therefore particularly important to follow the order of channel.
For each muscle group, it is recommended that the small electrodes be placed precisely on the motor
points, as shown in the illustration, or better yet, that the motor points be found using the instructions for
the indication “Locating a motor point” in this manual.
For optimum effectiveness, the positive pole should preferably be positioned on the motor point.
14.6.4 Patient position
The very first sessions, the primary objective of which is to eliminate muscle wastage, can be performed
with the lower limb extended, with a small cushion placed under the popliteal fossa.
For the subsequent sessions, the patient will be placed in a sitting position with the knee bent at a
comfortable angle. After satisfactory recovery of joint mobility, the knee is ideally bent between 60 and
90°.
