Axelgaard is proud to offer free educational resources via our video series and our interactive visual guide. The guide is viewable both on desktop and mobile and all of our videos can be watched online or downloaded for offline viewing.
In collaboration with Dr. Lucinda Baker of the University of Southern California’s Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy, Axelgaard’s Electrode Placement Guide is a free, interactive resource for electrode placement. This informative guide features 41 instructional videos, illustration-enhanced electrode placement photos, and relevant information on muscular and neurological anatomy.
In collaboration with SaliaRehab, this course guides learners through the general considerations and specific applications and treatment techniques for electrotherapeutic interventions. Learners will review best practices for safe, effective, and efficient application of electrical stimulation modality treatments to a variety of clinical presentations. In addition, concepts associated with use of electrical stimulation in occupational performance will also be reviewed.
The online class is intended for medical professionals (e.g. OT/OTA, PT/PTA, Physicians, etc.) directly related to the rehabilitation of a patient or client.
We are pleased to sponsor the Electrode Placement and Functional Movement series presented by Dr. Lucinda Baker, Associate Professor at USC Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy. These videos provide comprehensive information on the preparation and use of electrodes for effective neurostimulation treatment. All electrodes used in the video presentations are PALS® neurostimulation electrodes.
Individual chapters and the full DVD ISO file are available for free download alongside each video for offline viewing.
Electrode placement for bicep stimulation, which will result in elbow flexion. You can see the acromium mark at the shoulder. In this close up of the electrodes you see a relatively small electrode over the muscle belly of the biceps, this is the negative electrode.
The positive electrode is placed closer to the crease of the elbow. The stimulated contraction results in a three out of five muscle grade.
