Test Preparation
To make sure the test goes smoothly, here’s how you should prepare:
Clothing:
• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes (short-sleeved shirt and shorts are ideal).
• You may be asked to wear a hospital gown during the test for easy access to arms and legs.
Skin Care:
• Take a shower or bath before your appointment to clean the skin.
• Do not apply lotions, oils, or creams on your arms or legs on the day of the test—these can interfere with electrode contact.
Medications:
• Take your regular medications unless advised otherwise.
• Inform your doctor or technician if you:
o Are taking blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin)
o Have a bleeding disorder
o Are on muscle relaxants or nerve-related medications
Implanted Devices:
• Let the technician know if you have any pacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted devices.
Food & Drink:
• You can eat and drink as usual before the test. No fasting is required.
