Percutaneous Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation

20 minutes of neuromodulation of the posterior tibial nerve of both lower limbs using Physio Go-lite electrical stimulation device (made by ASTAR in Poland, ver 1.0.2 in Poland). Using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) current in the device, the positive electrode will be placed posterior to the medial ankle malleolus, and the negative electrode will placed ten centimeters away on the leg along the tibial nerve path. The TENS current parameters will be 200 microsecond pulse width, 10 Hz frequency, and intensity according to participant tolerance ranging between (10 - 50 mA) that increased gradually until visible movement in the big toe or fanning of toes will be noticed. The therapy sessions will be given three times a week, every other day, for a total of twelve sessions.

DEVICE

Placebo Percutaneous Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation
