Electrode
Placement Guidelines
Initial
Placement Patterns
For
radiating pain: place the
electrodes near the spine
For
specific joint or distal arm pain: Place
the electrodes nearer the area of pain,
according to the chart
For
deep pain of myotome or sclerotome
origin: place the electrodes
several spinal segments more proximal
than the segmental innervations shown
Interferential
Technique. Use the interferential
placement of four electrodes to:
Bombard
localized are of pain (e.g., hip or knee)
Achieve
greater pain relief if use of two
electrodes has proved unsatisfactory (see
Low Back Pain on chart)
Interferential
technique is shown on the charts by this symbol:
