Physical Agents in Rehabilitation
About This Book
"This resource covers everything from thermal agents, hydrotherapy, traction, compression, ultrasound, electrical currents, and electromagnetic fields to recent advances and new applications. You'll find clear discussions of the scientific basis for these agents' function, the types of conditions they can be used to treat, and their effectiveness according to the current research. You'll also discover practical guidelines that explain how to use them, when to use them...and when not to, how to integrate them into a patient's overall treatment plan, and how to document your treatment to optimize reimbursement and minimize liability."--BOOK JACKET.
