8. ELECTRODE PADS

8.1. PAD POSITIONING

The electrode pads must always be
used in pairs (two electrode pads on
each channel), so that the signal can
flow in a circuit.
Note: The face electrode pad
acts as a pair of standard
electrode pads. Connect both pigtail
leads to the same channel on the unit.
Electrode placement for EMS is very
important for obtaining the best
results.
Place two electrode pads over the bulk
of the muscle, with one electrode over
the muscle's motor point. The motor
point is the area on the skin that is
located closest to the motor nerve's
entry into the muscle – about 1/3 of the
way down the muscle from the spine.
Here, it is easiest to trigger a
contraction by electrical stimulation.
Experiment by moving the electrode
pads across the skin until you locate the
point over the muscle that gives the
cleanest contraction. In the examples in
section 8.3., the electrode pads are
marked +ve (red) and -ve (black) to
match the red and black leads. One of
the electrode pads
positioned over the motor point.
Large muscle groups may require
stimulation with two channels, that is,
four electrodes simultaneously.
When exercising smaller muscles, take
care to adjust the intensity level slowly
as the motor nerves may be more
sensitive and using smaller electrode
pads increases the current density.
You may feel more sensation in one
pad than the other. This is normal – it
depends on where the electrode pads
are in relation to your nerves.
Use the square electrode pads (see E-
CM5050) for all areas except the face
where specific electrode pads are
required (see E-CM3050).
For the bust area , it is recommended to
use the optional breast electrode pads for
improved comfort (see E-CMR60130).
Always check that the unit is OFF
before
electrode pads.
