    Study Notes

    • Drop wrist affects the extensor muscles of the wrist
    • Drop foot requires electrode placement on the anterior and lateral aspect of the leg for faradic stimulation
    • Sciatica is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve

    Electrode Placement for TENS Treatment

    • For lower back pain, 4-6 paraspinal electrodes are used for TENS treatment
    • For frozen shoulder, the electrode placement for interferential treatment is on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the shoulder joint
    • For tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), the affected area is the lateral epicondyle of the humerus
    • For Golfer's elbow, the recommended electrode placement is on the medial aspect of the elbow

    TENS Treatment for Specific Conditions

    • Carpal tunnel syndrome requires the use of TENS with acute or chronic parameters and electrode placement on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the wrist joint
    • For knee Osteo-arthritis, electrodes should be placed on the medial and lateral aspects of the knee joint
    • For treating stress incontinence using Interferential current with faradic parameters, electrodes should be placed on the perineal area
    • For treating edema of the hands, Interferential current with edema parameters and electrode placement on the hands is used

    Radial and Posterior Interosseus Nerve Treatment

    • For Radial nerve and Posterior interosseus using TENS, the recommended electrode placement is on the lateral aspect of the forearm and dorsum of the hand

    Wrist Flexors Origin Treatment

    • For treating infection in wrist flexors origin using TENS, electrodes should be placed on the anterior and medial aspect of the wrist

    Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

    • Carpal tunnel syndrome involves compression of either the medial or ulnar nerve passing through the carpal tunnel
