If stimulation is not producing desired results, the electrodes may have to be re-positioned in the garment. The following table provides guidelines for moving electrodes within their respective placement areas to achieve better stimulation responses:
Issue | Suggested Electrode Re-Positioning |
HAND-OPEN causes wrist to flex upwards | Move HAND-OPEN electrode closer to the wrist. |
HAND-OPEN causes wrist to flex outwards | Move HAND-OPEN electrode closer to the center of the arm. |
HAND-OPEN causes muscles around elbow to flex | Move HAND-OPEN electrode closer to the center of the arm. |
HAND-CLOSE causes wrist to flex downwards | Move HAND-CLOSE electrode closer to the wrist. |
HAND-CLOSE does not affect index and/or middle finger | Move HAND-CLOSE electrode closer to index-finger side of the arm. |
HAND-CLOSE causes muscles around elbow to flex | Move HAND-CLOSE electrode closer to the center of the arm. |
