 Motor point is a small area on a muscle at which the minimal amount of electrical stimulation will cause muscle to contract. How to find motor point To locate your own  motor point  more accurately, you can move the positive electrode slightly (red cable) and watch where the muscle response is the best (strongest twitch of the same intensity). The  motor point  pen is an accessory that is sold separately in order to  find  the  motor point Motor points of upper limb Placement of electrodes is very important  red and black electrode cat is black black is active means pen electrode will be black while red one will be pad electrode. .
