Removing a TENS unit from a knee

All right, so since I showed you how to put on the TENS unit, how to adjust the TENS unit

let's talk about taking it off. And so obviously the first thing you need to do is you need to turn

off your two little knobs. I've got this particular TENS unit set to turn off automatically at the 15

minute mark. I prefer somebody have a TENS unit on for 15 minutes, then turn it off for 15 minutes

and then use it again for another 15-minute cycle instead of having it on continuously for 30 minutes

So I always set my adjustments so that it turns off at 15

It's on the normal mode. I usually like the pulse rate to be at 70 to 120

and the pulse width to be about 120. But you can play around with those

There's no right or wrong way to use it. you're looking for the sensation that feels best to you

So now that both leads are turned off, I closed the little protective case

I always save the plastic that the pads were on because this will help increase the life

and stickiness of the pads Men I sorry there just no way to get around ripping out some of the leg hair You take the pads off you put them right on

the plastic that it came with. Oh, that's a good one. And then I like to have all my wires facing

the same way and like I mentioned earlier in the video so usually what I'll do is I'll give myself

a little bit of slack I'll wrap the wires around the tens unit have a little slack at the end

and so inside the box there's a large cavity and a small cavity the unit originally came on this

side but if I keep the wires and everything connected I put it on the larger side I just

turn those wires in so they face each other. The leads lay on top, close it up

try not to pinch anything, and you are good to go. You can use it as frequently

as you like. You can potentially use it every time you're working on increasing

range of motion whether it be flexion or extension. So if you have any questions

Let me know in the comments below. Otherwise, thanks for watching
