In the cable method, how are the cables arranged relative to the body part?

• A. Wrap around the body part
• B. Two plate electrodes on each side of body
• C. Towels to soak up moisture
• D. Becomes part of electrical circuit

Answer: (A)

The cable method is about wrapping the cables around the body part to enclose it and provide a circumferential pathway for the current. This wrap-around arrangement increases contact area, helps distribute the current evenly, and minimizes hotspots or impedance variations along the part being treated. Wrapping around the limb contrasts with using flat plate electrodes on either side, which creates a different, non-wrap configuration. Towels to soak up moisture don’t describe how the cables are positioned, and while every electrode is part of the electrical circuit, that doesn’t explain the specific arrangement around the body.
