Abstract
A method of electrically stimulating a target muscle of a patient includes placing an array of stimulation electrodes in electrical contact with the target muscle, applying an electrical stimulation signal to the array of stimulation electrodes, obtaining a signal from a sensing element placed on the patient, wherein the signal characterizes at least one biological parameter associated with contraction of the target muscle, and determining which stimulation electrodes optimize the efficacy of the electrical stimulation signal based on measurements from the stimulation electrodes and the sensing element.
