As with previous editions, the foundation of this book rests solidly and uniquely on evidence from experimental and clinical human trials. The goal of this textbook is to offer all the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools you need to master the practice of therapeutic electrophysical agents. The online resources include new unit conversion and dosimetric calculators, which allows students and practitioners to learn about prescribing treatment and what measurements to think about when dosing, without having to work through all the equations. Also included are new practice questions to help prepare for the Physical Therapy certification exam. These questions are similar to the ones students are likely to face on their board exams and will help build proficiency and competence. 3 NEW! Toward a Practice Based on Evidence chapter demonstrates why optimal clinical decision-making should be based on what evidence has proven to be effective. 3 NEW! Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy chapter adds to the body of mechanical agents for the management of chronic soft tissues disorders. 3 NEW!

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation chapter covers biphasic pulsed, Russian, and interferential currents. 3 Full-color enlivens text and enhances image quality, clarity, and accuracy. 3 The Bottom Line highlights the key elements related to each chapter. 3 Application, Contraindications, and Risks and Research-Based Indications assemble and synthesize treatment safety, efficacy, and effectiveness to optimize clinical decision-making.
