►
The electrodes are to be placed on intact skin only and with as much electrode-skin con
tact as possible. In the case of strong interference from electronic devices, the position
of the electrodes should be checked and changed if necessary. If the interference can
not be eliminated or if you do not achieve the expected results by adjustment or selection
of the appropriate control programme, please contact Ottobock Myo-Service.
►
Set the electrode gains as low as possible to reduce the risk of malfunctioning due to
strong electromagnetic radiation (e.g. visible or concealed theft prevention systems at
the entrance/exit of stores, metal detectors/body scanners for persons (e.g. in airports)
or other sources of strong electromagnetic interference (e.g. high-voltage lines, transmit
ters, transformer stations, computer tomographs, magnetic resonance tomographs,
etc.).
Allow the patient to rest during the adjustment of the electrodes; otherwise, muscle
►
fatigue will lead to inconsistent results. As a result, the therapist will tend to set the elec
trode gains too high.
