AXIS Nodes on body

The placement of the AXIS nodes on the body must match the placement in the AXIS Control Centre (i.e. if a node is assigned to the right thigh in the Control Centre, the same node must be worn on the right thigh of the player).

For the spine node, it should be placed in the upper part of the back, along the middle of the spine (see image below). The orientation of all nodes should be facing upwards.

For the lower limb nodes, the nodes should be worn above and below the knee (see image below). The nodes should be worn at least 10cm above or below the centre of the knee cap.
