Abstract

A stocking or sleeve for wearing or placing on a part of a subject's body for guiding placement of electrodes during monitoring and evaluating of electroneurophysiological data such as mixed and dermatomal nerve conduction latencies and amplitudes, and spontaneous electromyogram, in both clinical and intraoperative settings. The stocking or sleeve has designed into the fabric positioned apertures corresponding to a specific electrode montage, wherein the electrodes are placed on the surface or just beneath the surface of the skin of a subject at the positions of the apertures. The apertures may be color-coded or otherwise marked, or may be markable, to distinguish particular electrodes for positioning at specific sites on the subject's body. The stocking or sleeve is suitable for all kinds of electrodes. A preferred embodiment of the present invention is the use of the stocking or sleeve with a wireless biosensor electrode. Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is the use of the stocking or sleeve as a component of a system for real-time monitoring of changes in electroneurophysiological data.
