Epicondylitis
ENG
When?
Epicondylitis is a tendinopathy and may result from e.g. repetitive
gripping of objects and sports such as tennis and golf.
Why?
For pain relief.
How?
The stimulation inhibits impulse transfer in the pain pathways (Gate
control). To avoid adaption, this program has a continuous variation of
the stimulation frequency.
Electrodes
The electrodes should be placed on each side of the elbow. See Position
of the electrodes. It is important to ensure that the patient has normal
sensory of touch in the area where the electrodes are placed.
Intensity
The stimulation should give a strong, tingling sensation, without being
painful. It is important that the energy level is adjusted during the
treatment, because this is one of the key factors for the effectiveness of
the treatment.
