Neuromuscular electrodes designed as garments that cover the entire treatment area. These electrodes consist of conductive cloth (e.g., socks, gloves, sleeves) made of woven fabrics such as nylon or Dacron and metallic threads (e.g., silver); they are connected to steady or pulsed electric stimulators that deliver very small currents, usually in the range of microamperes. Conductive garment electrodes are used in treatments intended to provide mild pain relief, reduce swelling, and/or increase blood circulation.
