  • Electrodes used in this video are PALS® Electrodes by Axelgaard Manufacturing. Written instructions for this video:
    Electrode placements for shoulder flexion and abduction can be seen here with one electrode over the anterior deltoid and the other over the middle deltoid.
    The acromium is marked with the marker. In our first placement the negative electrode of the asymmetric waveform is placed over the anterior deltoid and you can see the resultant stimulation is one of dominantly flexion.
    The therapist is now putting the stimulator on pause and he is going to switch the polarity so that the middle deltoid electrode is now the negative electrode and the anterior deltoid will become the positive electrode. You can see the resultant stimulated contraction is one of dominant abduction.
    Placing the stimulator on pause, the electrode leads are being disconnected. A second stimulator that is programmed with a symmetric biphasic waveform is being connected. And now as the therapist increases the amplitude you will notice that both electrodes, anterior and middle deltoid, are equally excitable resulting in a motion that would be referred to as scaption, a combination of flexion and abduction.
