First an electric stimulator with faradic current facility is selected. Make sure that all the wires from mains to plug box and to the machine are intact and properly insulated Check the leads for any breaks in the insulation Test the machine by attaching leads and electrodes to the terminals and feel the current by switching ‘on’ the machine and increasing the intensity Make sure that before ‘on’ or ‘off’ ‘off’ an apparatus ,all the the knobs of intensity are at ‘zero’ Select the appropriate and suitable electrode The electrodes should be properly applied with conduction gel Electrode placement : For retarding the formation of edema associated with acute inflammation ,the negetive polarity treatment electrodes should be placed directly over the area of oedema,with the dispersive electrode more proximal if possible . To reduce edema associated with lack of muscle activity ,large indifferent electrode is placed over the Lumbosacral junction and two small electrodes(active) electrodes(active) one at neck of fibula and one below the medial malleolus.
