14.11.1.3 Electrode position
A single channel is sucient to stimulate the levator muscles of the foot.
A small electrode is placed on the motor point of the tibialis anterior.
For optimum eectiveness, the positive pole should preferably be positioned on the lower electrode, which
corresponds to the motor point of the tibialis anterior.
14.11.1.4 Stimulation energy
Use the energy necessary to achieve slight dorsiflexion that is enough to prevent the foot from dropping
while walking. In this application, there is nothing to be gained from producing a more powerful
contraction that might diuse into the antagonists.
Activate the contraction by pressing any key on any channel. As this contraction phase is very short, rapidly
increase the energy of channel 1 until satisfactory dorsiflexion is achieved.
