Wearable Technology 10 Using the grey abrasive pad, gently exfoliate the area of skin that will make contact with the electrodes (once a week should be sufficient for this process - DO NOT over exfoliate, especially if the skin is fragile or may be damaged through abrasion) and then wipe thoroughly with the electrode preparation wipe. For best results, remove any excess hair and moisturiser if present. After 30 seconds, peel off the protective film and secure the device to a straight leg so that the raised Indicator line on the device (marked with arrows) is positioned at the centre of the fibula head. The head of the device should be positioned towards the front of the leg – with the tail of the device wrapped around and to the rear of the leg below the crease of the knee. The geko™ device is designed to stimulate the common peroneal nerve. There are other methods of locating the common peroneal nerve. Use a short press/click of the button (0.5 seconds) to activate the device (the device will start once the button Is released) and further short clicks to set the appropriate level – reached when there is a discernable movement of the specified muscles In the lower leg. To accommodate any variation in stimulus due to leg position changes, simply turn the setting up or down. There are 7 levels (indicated by the flashing light); in most cases levels 3 or 4 are ideal. To reduce the levels, one-by-one, use a longer click (1 to 2seconds) and to turn off the device completely, hold the button down until the light stops flashing. For additional adhesion, apply one of the supplied adhesive strips over the device. Find the location where the device is to be secured. It can be found on the outside of the leg, just below the level of the knee, at the centre of the fibula head. The fibula head can be felt as a round protrusion at the very top of the fibula bone.
