Abstract
A monopolar neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) apparatus is configured for use with a cannula and a remote electrode. The apparatus includes a longitudinally rigid rod that is movable in the cannula throughout a range of operative positions in which inner and outer end portions of the rod extend longitudinally outward from the inner and outer ends of the cannula. The apparatus further includes a single electrode configured to be supported as a solitary electrode on the inner end portion of the rod for movement with the rod through the cannula. In this manner, the electrode can be moved into and out of contact with internal test sites to apply NMES at the internal test sites in an electrical circuit with the remote electrode upon movement of the rod back and forth in the cannula. Additionally, the rod is a rigid tube and the electrode is a suction-tip electrode configured to communicate pneumatically with the rigid tube.
