Abstract
A support garment for a patient-worn energy delivery apparatus. A vest-type garment holds an electrode belt in contact with a wearer's ribcage. A removable electrode harness may be attachable to the support garment to accurately position sensing electrodes on the body of the wearer and energy delivery electrodes for transfer of an electrode therapy pulse to the wearer of the garment. The chest garment includes adjustable shoulder straps and a band to accommodate any body size or shape. One-sided assembly and coding of components facilitates use by a patient. A technique for sizing the support garment is also disclosed.
