Can this universal pad be used for foot, ankle, shoulders back and elbows?

Should not be a problem except with the size. My wife finds that it works well on arm, shoulder, back etc. either by semi wrap,or laying over the shoulder or foot/ankle. Use a bath or hand towel between it and body. We have been impressed with how functional it is! Ice lasts longer than you expect.

Yes, that semi circle in the middle is separated from the sides of this particular pad. So it can be used flat or wrapped around a joint. It comes with an elastic band with Velcro ends to hold in place. It would only cover one shoulder, the lower back or upper back it's about 12" x 12". I bought the universal pad for use on my hip after surgery. I couldn't find the hip pad at the time but I am glad I got this one because it can be used anywhere. I would recommend this product to anyone for swelling and pain control.

I haven't used it on my knees but the booklet says it can be used for that. They even show a picture of how to position the pads.

I would suspect they would, since the majority of tens units are fairly universal, they should indeed work with that particular model. I have the Ultima5 model which is a standard model for pain relief and these replacement pads worked great. I prefer these pads over the Tyco brand electrodes which are only a one time application. The main reason why I like the previously mentioned electrodes is the fact that they are re-useable; and with that in mind a person can always save a few dollars here and there when looking for pain management.

It works best for knees, ankles, feet, wrists and elbows where you can wrap it around the joint. However I used it when I had my hip replacement; just had to sit or lie down and lay it over the part that hurts. It's much better than trying to use regular ice or a bag of peas.

I would say yes, no and maybe on this one. It depends on the level of inflammation.If it is in an acute stage, using them could cause more discomfort, even though they might be useful to release some of the tension in the connection tissue. Certainly they are useful to keep the feet flexible and open, so they could be considered proactive. And as the inflammation and contraction release, they will be useful to massage the entire area really effectively.

As long as you can fit it on the knee or lay it on there, I don't see why not. We have the universal one and we use it for everything.

I dont know why not, it may depend on mobility of user. The is only a slight curve to the handle. The entire pad can be used to apply lotion, not just the flat front and back. It will not work between toes. This is easy to clean after use, i use a mild low sudsing soap, rinse and hang. I keep two on hand.

Yes, I'm not sure what your using it for but its not big enough to use for hands or feet. Hope this helps.

I'm not a Dr. but I've used this device all over my back area with great results. So long as you can lay it flat and not on a curved area like the top of the shoulder it should work fine. Remember to use lower levels of intenstiy and work up not the other way around because this is electricity, hope this helps, Paul.

You can use for your arms and legs. But I found its function inadequate. I returned it.

This pad works for any part of the body that I have used it. Although the shape is not perfect for the upper back, it does come with a long velcro strap. I usually place the strap over my shoulders and sit in a chair with a high back and it works great. I occasionally have spasms or tension under my shoulder blades. And before I got this pad, it might take days for it to subside. Since I use the pad now, sometimes the symptoms have been alleviated in less than a day and 2 days at the most. I do wish they made pads shaped more specifically for different areas of the body, but I have been able to use this pad for any part of the body using the velcro strap.

I cannot definitively say "yes" but I was surprised that these pads have standard fittings that are supposed to universally fit.I would like to remark that these are truly amazing pads for back pain relief.

Hi...I can only convey what my wife says (bought it for her)...She LOVES the product and she says it will work for your feet. She tried it out prompted by your question. She uses it mainly for her back and legs. Hope this helps.

Yes, it should fit for the purpose of having the pad kept close to the lower back, not for mobile activities.

Yes. I use it on my feet. It has handles on both ends so I think it is mainly for your back. It is course on one side and smooth on the other. I fold it with course side out and wash my feet. I don't know if there is any benefit that I receive from using it on my feet, such as making my feet softer, but it sure feels good :)

Although I use it for my back and arms, I believe you could apply it to your knee. it is likely you will have to put your leg upm and remain stationary while it is in use. Hope this is helpful and good luck!

No it would put more stress on your wrists because of the increased angle of your hands vs. your elbows. What about doing a search for wrist pads on amazon?
