Electrodes used in this video are PALS® Electrodes by Axelgaard Manufacturing. Written instructions for this video:
Option 1 for flexion reflex electrode placement. Option 2 and 3 can be found in the Electrode Placement Tutorials playlist.
Here, an asymmetric biphasic waveform is used. The negative electrode is placed just below the fibular head, which you can see marked with an X. The positive electrode is placed up in the popliteal fossa.
During stimulation you will see the direct activation of the dorsiflexors with a reflexive activation of the hip flexors, which you can observe as increased knee flexion.
