Abstract
A neuromuscular electrode is provided for use in assessing a physiological function of a peripheral nerve and/or muscle innervated by that nerve. The electrode includes a stimulation site, a detection site, and a data memory for storing a signal representative of a characteristic of the electrode. For example, the data memory may include an indication of the size of the electrode, a height associated with the electrode, a unique serial number associated with the electrode, or an indication that the electrode has or has not been previously used on an individual.
