14.13.1.3 Electrode position
Two stimulation channels are required for each leg.
• A small electrode is placed just under the head of the fibula on the common peroneal nerve, and
• another small electrode in the upper part of the popliteal fossa at the nerve trunk of the tibial nerve.
For optimum eectiveness, the positive pole should preferably be positioned on these two small
electrodes.
• The two other negative poles are connected to the two outputs of a large electrode placed on the upper
part of the calf, just below the popliteal fossa.
14.13.1.4 Patient position
Place the patient in a comfortable position.
14.13.1.5 Stimulation energy
Adjust the stimulation energy to the maximum level the patient can tolerate, to recruit as many fibres as
possible.
