4.6.10.6 Placement for Shoulder Pain
on the Trapezius
Use the E-set:
For pain occurring on the
posterior of the shoulder, for example
on the trapezius, the small round Pain
Site Electrode should be placed directly
over the pain site on the trapezius as
shown in the photo to the right.
The bony prominence or comfortable
location for the rectangular Dispersive
Electrode is just posterior to the AC
joint and be placed
along
the spine of
scapula as shown in the photo to the
right. Make sure there is at least one inch
of spacing between the electrodes. This is the most comfortable location to
receive stimulation in the shoulder from the rectangular Dispersive Electrode.
4.6.10.7 Placement for 2 Locations
of Pain in One Shoulder
Use the B-set:
For two equal locations
of pain occurring in the shoulder or, as
an alternative placement for pain inside
the shoulder joint (Section 4.6.10.1),
place each 2-inch diameter round
electrode directly over each respective
pain site on the anterior, top and/or
posterior side of the shoulder as shown
in the photo to the right.
Body Position:
For all shoulder
treatments, lying in a supine position
or sitting in a supported position is
generally most comfortable with the arm
resting near the side of the body.
Motion:
The patient should gently articulate the shoulder joint to shift the
electrical field so that the sensation from the electrical signals focuses directly
over and encompasses both pain sites.
