Re: Electrode Placement on the Wrist

[Guest guest]

sounds ok, placement is not that critical, just try for above the

artery pulse points.

anatomy charts will show where they are in theory. one's near the

radial (thumbside) bone, the other is about 1.5 " away towards the

pinky side bone.

Hi Neil,

A good trick to find then is to tilt your wrist way back and that brings the

arteries closer to the surface and you will be able to feel them then. One of

them is below the thumb just to the right of the tendon and the other is about

3/4 inch to the left of that one. when you tilt your wrist back you sholud have

not problem finding them., What i do then is mark them with a pen above and

below the area where you are planning to put the electrodes. then when you strap

theum down you will be able to get the electrodes dircetly above the arteries bp

lining it up with the marks.

Take care,

V
