Quote Bill Mania:
"
To begin, the EKG (electrocardiogram) used a total of 12
electrical leads. Each lead captures the electrical signal from a
specific location on the body. All of the leads were then
connected to a device about the size of an old Walkman and which
weighed about a pound. The device was attached to my waist at the
front via a nylon webbing strap and a Fastex buckle. It stayed in
place well, even while I was running for dear life on the
inclined treadmill. The device was connected to the monitor via a
single cable.
...
In short, I think our plan for an elastic band around the chest,
with the majority of the control hardware hanging in the middle
of the subject's back, will work and won't even be that different
from existing systems. I do think, however, that we may also be
well served by adding one or two adjustable shoulder straps to
that same chest strap. That way, the elastic won't have to be
quite so tight, but still able to keep the whole apparatus from
sliding down the subject's chest.
