Abstract: A transcutaneous electrical stimulation system is provided that can include a number of features. In one implementation, the system can include a plurality of electrodes configured to be in contact with a skin surface of a patient. The system can further include a flexible hub electrically connected to the electrodes and configured to be in contact with the patient. A bend sensor can be disposed in the hub and configured to measure a curvature of the hub. The system can include a signal processing device electrically coupled to the plurality of electrodes and the bend sensor, the signal processing device being configured to change stimulation settings of the plurality of electrodes based on the curvature of the hub. In some implementations, the system can include a multi-channel stimulator. Methods of use are also provided.
