About this title

Synopsis

A well-established and popular textbook which comprehensively covers the use of electrotherapy in clinical practice. It includes the background science as well as describing the different electrical agents and their therapeutic applications.

Previously published under the title Clayton's Electrotherapy - this new edition is redesigned to reflect the strong emphasis placed on the need to practice therapeutic techniques in the light of a solid and informed knowledge base.

Written and edited by expert researchers and practitioners

Includes a thorough review of the physical and biological principles underlying the therapeutic use

Incorporates the most up-to-date information on equipment, practice and research

Presents a new section on electroacupuncture

Encourages the reader to use informed judgement when applying the techniques on an individual basis and gives them information to enable them to do so

Now includes a free CD-Rom which provides simulations to allow the student to practice the operating and control of the machines involved before using them in a real clinical situation

Improved page design and layout and illustrated with new line drawings throughout.
