1. An electrode kit for muscle stimulation to be used in conjunction with a splint, said kit comprising: an electrode carrier consisting of a relatively thin, flexible, tray-like member having holding means, said carrier being attachable to an interior surface of said splint; a thin, flexible electrode member fixedly attached to said electrode carrier, and a skin-contacting pad member consisting of a piece of medium-absorptive material fixedly mounted on a rigidifying frame attachable to, and removable from, said holding means of the electrode carrier. 2. The electrode kit as claimed in claim 1, wherein said holding means is a plurality of slits into which said tab means can be slid and from which they can be withdrawn. 3. The electrode kit as claimed in claim 1, wherein said tab means are integral parts of the rigidifying frame of said pad member. 4. The electrode kit as claimed in claim 1, wherein said electrode carrier is attached to the interior surface of said splint by means of a double-sided adhesive patch. 5. The electrode kit as claimed in claim 1, wherein said flexible electrode member is made of a stainless-steel wire mesh attached to said tray-like member by ultrasonic welding. 6. The electrode kit as claimed in claim 1, wherein said medium-absorptive material is viscose. 7. The electrode kit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the skin-contacting surface of said pad member is impregnated with a synthetic rubber solution to prevent said surface from fuzzing. 8. The electrode kit as claimed in claim 1, wherein said holding means are engageable by tab means.
