Electrode Placement
4. If stimulation of the common peroneal nerve is unsuccessful, the muscles that lift the
foot can be stimulated directly. The active electrode is placed over the widest part of the
muscle at the front of the leg, approximately three finger breadths below the tibial tuberosity
(the knobbly bump at the front of the leg, just below the knee) and one fingers breadth to
the outside of the shin bone. The indifferent electrode is placed approximately 5cm below
the active.
