Axelgaard is proud to offer free educational resources via our video series and our interactive visual guide. The guide is viewable both on desktop and mobile and all of our videos can be watched online or downloaded for offline viewing.
In collaboration with Dr. Lucinda Baker of the University of Southern California’s Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy, Axelgaard’s Electrode Placement Guide is a free, interactive resource for electrode placement. This informative guide features 41 instructional videos, illustration-enhanced electrode placement photos, and relevant information on muscular and neurological anatomy.
We are pleased to sponsor the Electrode Placement and Functional Movement series presented by Dr. Lucinda Baker, Associate Professor at USC Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy. These videos provide comprehensive information on the preparation and use of electrodes for effective neurostimulation treatment. All electrodes used in the video presentations are PALS® neurostimulation electrodes.
Individual chapters and the full DVD ISO file are available for free download alongside each video for offline viewing.
Electrode placement for knee extension dual channel for power activation. Two channels of stimulation are used with an asymmetric biphasic waveform. The negative electrode is placed very proximal and the positive lead is attached to the dual leadwire electrode placed at the mid-thigh. The channel two negative electrode is placed distally, midline to medially.
The positive lead is attached to the dual leadwire electrode at the mid-thigh. The stimulated contraction is a three out of five, but under ideal circumstances can be increased to three plus or more out of five.
