Active Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
For active group: TENS is to be used to stimulate tibial Nerve at medial aspect of the foot. The stimulation is proved by flexion of the big toe (motor response) and/or tingling sensation of ipsilateral sole of foot (sensory response) by raising the current amplitude, mA, intensity. Increasing the intensity above sensory threshold is recommended but should not be painful
Sham Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
TENS on the lateral side of the foot, the negative electrode on the top of the foot just above the small toe for conduction and the positive electrode on the bottom of below the smallest toe to avoid the tibial nerve and relevant cutaneous nerves. Participants will be instructed to raise up the intensity until the first and slight tingling sensation on the sole of the foot or toe
