Foot drop system innoSTEP-WL – Applying adhesive electrodes

Attaching adhesive electrodes on the leg

The wireless foot drop system innoSTEP-WL can also be used with adhesive electrodes. After connecting the correct cuff, we will show you the correct position of the gel-electrodes.
 
Before you attach the gel electrodes, make sure to diligently clean the skin in order to remove lotions, dirt or lipids. The adhesive electrodes are placed on the head of the fibula and the tibia muscle:

• Detach the electrode from the stimulation unit beforehand.
• Feel for the head of the fibula – this is the position of the black electrode (negative cathode)
• The red electrode (positive anode) is placed on the tibia muscle
• Connect the electrodes to the stimulation unit. The black electrode is connected to the black marked press stud, the red electrode to the red one.
• Apply the cuff below the knee of the affected leg and make sure, that the yellow position mark points upward to the center of the knee cap.
• Close the magnetic closure and use the velcro strap to adjust the width of the cuff. It should sit tight on the leg, without cutting in.
• When not using them, put the electrodes back on the protection foil and store them in a cool, dark place.
