4.6.10 SHOULDER PAIN - ELECTRODE PLACEMENT EXAMPLES
For all shoulder treatments, a wide self adhering wrap, medical tape,
elastic bandage or velcro strap should be used to hold both electrodes
in place, particularly if range of motion, exercise or stretching therapy is
to be performed during the treatment.
4.6.10.1 Placement for Pain in the
Acromioclavicular
(
AC) Joint or for Pain
Inside the Shoulder Joint (e.g. from
Frozen Shoulder/Adhesive Capsulitis)
Use the E-set:
For pain occurring on the
top of or inside the shoulder, for example,
for pain from an Acromioclavicular (AC)
sprain or from Adhesive Capsulitis (see
photo to the right), the small round Pain
Site Electrode should be placed
directly
over the pain site at the AC joint
.
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. The
rectangular Dispersive Electrode should
not touch the belly of the deltoid because
the deltoid may feel fatigued following the treatment and stimulation over
the softer tissue in that region will prevent the patient from achieving a higher
intensity level. Generally, the higher the intensity, the greater the efficacy, as
long as the treatment remains comfortable. Maintain at least 0.5 inches of
spacing between the two electrodes.
Generally the rectangular Dispersive Electrode is never placed over the
anterior portion of the shoulder or chest as this is an uncomfortable place to
receive stimulation.
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 the pain site.
