摘要：An apparatus () for electrical stimulation of muscle tissue. The apparatus has anelectrode system () with an electrode array (). The array has a plurality of electrode pads() and can be placed in electrical contact with the muscle tissue. The electrode system

Further has a sensor (-) for sensing a property of the muscle tissue. The property forms ameasure for the activity of the muscle tissue. The apparatus () has an electrode selector ()for selecting one or more stimulating electrode pads. A signal generator () is connectedto the electrode array () for providing an electrical stimulation signal to the stimulationelectrode pad. A signal processor () is connected to said sensor (-), for determining fromthe sensor signal a value of the muscle activity and outputting the value in a for humansperceptible form. This reduces the accuracy required to position the electrode system ()and increases the accuracy of measuring the muscle tissue activity.
