For all wrist, hand and finger treatments, use a self adhering cohesive
wrap, elastic bandage or a velcro strap to hold both electrodes in place,
particularly if range of motion, exercise or stretching therapy is to be
performed during the treatment.
4.6.12.1 Placement for Posterior or
Anterior Wrist Pain
Use the E-set:
For pain occurring in
the wrist, the small round Pain Site
Electrode should be placed directly
over the pain site. The rectangular
Dispersive Electrode should generally be
placed across the wrist in an opposing
position to the location of the round
Pain Site Electrode.
Make sure the small round Pain Site Electrode and the rectangular
Dispersive Electrode do not touch each other and that there is at least 0.5
inches of spacing between them.
In the first example in the first photo above, the small round Pain Site
Electrode is placed over the pain site on the
posterior side
of the wrist; the
rectangular Dispersive Electrode runs
across
the anterior side of the wrist.
In the next example in the second photo
to the right, the small round Pain Site
Electrode is placed directly over the pain
site on the
anterior side
of the wrist.
The rectangular Dispersive Electrode is
placed
across
the
posterior
side of the
wrist in an opposing location.
If the patient has a small diameter
wrist, in order to prevent the
electrodes from touching one another,
the rectangular Dispersive Electrode
may be placed
along
the wrist instead of
across
the wrist as shown in the
two photos in Section 4.6.12.4 on page 75.
