4.6.8.7 Placement for Pain on
the Top of the Foot (for example
from Phalange, Metatarsal,
Neuroma or Turf Toe Pain)
Use the E-set:
For pain occurring
in a joint on the top of the foot, for
example between the phalanges
and metatarsal bones, the small
round Pain Site Electrode should be
placed
directly over the pain site
on the top of the foot
as shown
in the first photo to the right. If
the pain presents from the side
or bottom of the foot, the small
round electrode should be placed
over the painful area on the side
or bottom of the foot. For pain
over the big toe, for example from
turf toe, the small round Pain
Site Electrode should be placed
directly over the pain site on
the top of the toe
as shown in
the second photo to the right.
The comfortable bony
prominence location for the
rectangular Dispersive Electrode is on the lateral side of the malleolus
wrapping around the Achilles tendon.
Body Position:
For all ankle and foot pain, the foot should be kept at
approximately 90 degrees to the tibia and the foot should rest against a flat
surface. Therefore sitting in a chair with the foot flat on the floor or sitting on
a training or physical therapy table with the knee bent and the foot flat on a
wedge are the most ideal positions during the treatment.
