NOTE: The electrodes may be placed
for specific, general and
quasi-specific biofeedback muscle
or muscle group activity .
Using small electrodes and placing them
closer together will render a more specific
reading of muscle activity during sEMG
and sEMG + Stim therapy .
The Active electrodes may be placed
farther apart to obtain a general reading of
a muscle or muscle group activity during
the session .
DJO, LLC recommends using only DURA-
STICK™ II electrodes to obtain the most
accurate sEMG feedback .
Follow the electrode manufacturer
instructions .
Trimming or cutting electrodes may
interfere with the reception of sEMG data
acTIvE
and may affect the delivery of electrical
(rED)
stimulation in the sEMG + Stim Modality .

Vectra Genisys® Therapy System
Keep stim electrodes separated during
sEMG + Stim treatment . Electrodes in
contact with each other could result in
improper stimulation or skin burns .
Long term effects of chronic electrical
stimulation are unknown .
Stimulation should not be applied over
the anterior neck or mouth . Severe spasm
of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles
may occur and the contractions may be
strong enough to close the airway or cause
difficulty in breathing .
