4.6.12.4 Alternative Placement
for the Larger Rectangular
Electrode on Small Diameter
Wrists
Use the E-set:
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 in an
opposing position to the small
round Pain Site Electrode as shown
in both photos to the right. Make
sure the rectangular Dispersive
Electrode stays off of the forearm
and is partially covering the
anterior or posterior of the bottom
of the hand.
The use of a cohesive self adhering
wrap, elastic bandage or velcro
strap is recommended to hold both
the round Pain Site Electrode and
rectangular Dispersive Electrode in
place.
Body Position:
The arm should rest
at the side of the body. The patient
should hold a ball or a rolled up towel
to keep their fingers in a comfortable
position during the treatment.
Motion:
The patient should gently
articulate their wrist (rotation as well
as extension and flexion) to shift the
electrical field so that the sensation from
the electrical signals focuses on and
encompasses the pain site in the wrist.
