This angle provides the strongest sensation in the knee during the treatment
which will yield the best outcome.
Motion: To facilitate exercise or range of motion therapy, Biowave should be
used for 8 minutes first, with the knee in flexion. After 8 minutes, reduce the
intensity by 3% to take the edge off of the sensation. Then while continuing the
Biowave treatment, exercise or range of motion therapy can now be performed
by the patient with significantly less pain. For example, it is much easier for
the patient to complete an eccentric quadriceps exercise during a Biowave
treatment. As the patient’s body adapts to the electrical field, after each set of
exercise, the patient may increase the intensity, if desired, for greater pain relief.
4.6.7.3 Placement for
Quadriceps Tendinitis
Use the E-set: The small round Pain
Site Electrode should be placed directly
over the primary source of pain typically
over the quadriceps tendon just superior
to the patella, as shown in the photo to
the right.
The bony prominence or comfortable
location for the rectangular Dispersive
Electrode is on the lateral side of the
knee, three quarters of the way up the
patella, touching the lateral edge of the
patella, angled across the anterior of the
knee, and running completely across the
patellar tendon as shown in the photo to
the right. This is the most comfortable
place to receive stimulation into the knee
and will allow the patient to achieve a higher intensity level so even more of
the therapeutic signal develops in the volume of tissue beneath the small
round Pain Site Electrode.
Body Position: For treatments for pain from quadriceps tendinitis, the
knee should be bent at approximately 90 degrees. This angle provides the
strongest sensation in the volume of tissue being treated which will yield the
best outcome.
