1. A transcutaneous method of stimulating at least one nerve in an arm or wrist of a patient, the method comprising:

  • placing a circumferential band comprising a first electrode and a second electrode around the patient'"'"'s arm or wrist, the electrodes configured to be in a configuration such that in a transverse cross-sectional plane of the arm or wrist there is a 90 degree to 180 degree angle between a line extending between a first nerve and the first electrode and a line extending between the first nerve and the second electrode, the first nerve selected from the patient'"'"'s median, radial and ulnar nerves, wherein the first and second electrodes are spaced a predetermined distance apart, wherein the band consists of two or three stimulation electrodes and one or more additional components operably connected to the band that are not stimulation electrodes; and

    delivering a first electrical stimulus between the first and second electrodes to preferentially stimulate the first nerve, the first electrical stimulus generated from a pulse generator.
