1. Red = right anterior shoulder or arm
2. Yellow = Left anterior shoulder or arm
3. Black = right thigh / higher than patela / amputation site
4. Green = left thigh. / higher than patela / amputation site.
Or why don't you use other method ?
Unipolar limbs lead, using electrodes : put one on left shoulder, one at right shoulder, one at left lower abdomen, a bit upper SIAS (anterior superior iliac spine) . This method work very well in every people, even tetra amputation person.
you'll want to place one on the chest, the rib cage, and the the thigh
above the amputation site..if its and above knee amputation then you put it on the thigh and same with an arm amputation
