Electrotherapy: Evidence Based Practice + CD Rom
Electrotherapy- evidence -based practice has been designed to provide the reader with an up-to-date knowledge and understanding of the most commonly-used agents in the field of electrotherapy. It will provides safe and appropriate information on the application of treatments, whilst avoiding the 'cook book' approach which inhibits informed clinical decision making. The inclusion of a free CD ROM provides the opportunity to practice the "application" of treatments in a safe situation. The information presented here will enable those working in the field of electrotherapy to provide safe and effective delivery of electrotherapy to their patients.
