Ifc Electrode Placement. Electrode Placement Guidelines TENS Electrode Chart MediStim Inc Close placement=superficial current; Further placement= deep current; Inferential current (IFC) Developed in the 1950s, IFC is most commonly used for pain relief (Kitchen, 2001). Traditional IFC • Two channels are crossed and interference within the tissues creates a vector • The vector can be adjusted for degree of sweep (45° or 90°) and speed (fast = 10 seconds or slow = 60 seconds) PREMOD IFC • Two medium frequencies are crossed within the machine • A single channel with two electrodes (Image A)
