Correct electrode placement is critical to achieving optimal results in electrotherapy. Whether using TENS, EMS, or EMG devices, positioning the electrodes accurately ensures effective stimulation and patient comfort.
Electrodes should be placed over targeted muscle groups or along nerve pathways, depending on the treatment goal. For example, in lower back pain management, electrodes are typically positioned on either side of the spine, while knee rehabilitation may require placement around the joint.
It is important to maintain proper skin preparation, including cleaning the area before application, to ensure good conductivity and reduce resistance. Reusable electrodes should be handled carefully and replaced when necessary to maintain performance.
Clinicians and users should always follow recommended pla
