The third edition of
Therapeutic Electrophysical Agents: Evidence Behind
Practice
—revised and expanded, with new chapters and ancillary resources
and tools on thePoint—is designed to give you the expertise with
electrophysical agents you will need in your clinical practice. 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.
