    The document provides instructions for properly placing electrodes for electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) units. It states that electrodes from the same pair should be placed over the same muscle and that optimum placement may vary between individuals. Electrodes should be placed on clean, healthy skin at least 3 cm apart. Pictures show example placements for muscles like the calf, thigh, buttocks, and back. Placements for pain relief can be over or near the painful area.

    Electrode placement for EMS units

    To receive maximum results from your stimulation, it is important to place the electrodes correctly. Electrodes from the same pair should be placed over the same muscle. The optimum placement varies slightly from person to person, so try moving the electrodes around until you get the most comfortable and effective contractions. Cefar offers different sizes of electrodes. Small electrodes are preferably used on smaller muscles and large electrodes on larger muscles. Before placing the electrodes on your body, be sure to always wash and dry the skin in order to ensure good conductivity. Be sure to only place electrodes on healthy skin. You should never place electrodes closer than 3 cm from each other. The pictures shown here are for muscle stimulation. If you intend to use a pain relief program place the electrodes over or nearby the painful area. This is just a selection of placements. Our manuals will give you further guidance and more pictures. We recommend that you follow our electrode placement recommendations. Calf (back)
