The conductor of an electrical apparatus which touches the body and carries an electric shock.<\/p>\n

\n

Conductor used to make electrical contact with some nonmetallic part of a surface or circuit; often used in conjunction with monitoring of the heart rhythm by electrodes held to the skin by adhesive.<\/p>\n

\n

Applicator for directing electric current from an electrotherapy device to the client\u2019s skin.<\/p>\n

\n

A junction through which electricity transitions from one medium to another.<\/p>\n

\n

Microscopic filaments housed within adhesive pads that are affixed to the body surface to facilitate the measurement of electrocardiographic activity (EKG).<\/p>\n

\n

An apparatus that enables the transfer or reception of electrical currents is referred to as a device. In procedures such as ECGs, electrodes are positioned on the chest area to sense the heart’s electrical signals. Similarly, some physiotherapy treatments employ electrodes, which are affixed to the skin. These electrodes produce electrical stimuli to activate the muscles beneath the skin.<\/p>\n
