Review

"This third edition of a popular and easily read text continues in the high standards of the earlier versions. ...there are some changes which make it easier for readers to make the most of the information contained. [...] The layout of the book is improved ...with wide margins to allow readers to make their own comments/annotation, an increased number of figures, tables and illustrations, and the inclusion of boxes of information. The illustrations, which are all monochrome, are well labelled, clear to follow and appropriately titled. Each adds to the text and aids readers understanding. [...] Electrotherapy Explained remains a key textbook for the teaching of electrotherapy to undergraduates, and many clinical departments will find a copy a useful addition to their library."Physiotherapy, February 2001
