Periarthritis
Note: Electrode position is supposed to surround the painful area. With painful
muscle groups, the electrodes are grouped round the muscle affected. In case
of joint pain, the joint on the front/rear side of the joint and, if electrode distan-
ces permit, on the right and left sides of the joint, should be surrounded with
electrodes.
Minimal electrode distance should not be less than 5 cm and not exceed 15 cm.
See figure no. 25 and 28 for knee and ankle joint.
Burst programmes are suitable for all sites which should be treated with an al-
ternating signal pattern (to ensure minimum habituation).
