The "Basics of Electrotherapy" provides a foundation of knowledge for management of the most of types of patients with the Electrotherapeutic modalities. Although the book is primarily written for physiotherapeutic professionals, yet information in this book may also be useful for other clinicians, who are actively involved in the management of various patients. Major topics of discussion include history of electrotherapy, muscle and nerve stimulating currents, diagnostic electrotherapy, thermotherapy, therapeutic ultrasound, cryotherapy, phototherapy, safety precautions in electrotherapy, clinical decision making in electrotherapy, and biofeedback. As new information becomes available, changes in treatment procedures, equipment, and the use of these equipment in clinical situations become necessary.
