Attaching the finger sensor
Leg EMG sensor
The active electrodes (EMG) should be attached to the skin in the area of the anterior tibialis
muscle of each leg between the knee and ankle (see the following image). Use two adhesive
disposable snap electrodes to place it in the correct position. Connect the electrodes with the
sensor before attaching it to the patient. Use adhesive tape to secure the cable to ensure an
accurate measurement and for strain-relief.
The sensors are labelled L and R and should only be applied to the corresponding leg.
Adjust fixing sleeve
in order to secure the
sensor’s position.
