14.9.3 Electrode position
Use three channels
• Two channels are used with four large electrodes to cover the painful area.
• The third channel uses small electrodes to excite the nerve path(s) supplying the extremity of the limb
concerned.
Upper limb:
Distal RSD of the upper limb:
• Four large electrodes are used to cover the palms and backs of the hand and fingers.
• Two small electrodes a finger’s width apart are placed as high as possible on the inner side of the arm;
the upper electrode is thus positioned at the level of the brachial wall of the axilla.
RSD of the shoulder:
• Four large electrodes are used to cover the whole shoulder.
• A small electrode is placed at the level of the supraclavicular cavity, and another small electrode is
positioned on the bony protrusion of the acromion.
