Notas del Editor

This text guides students through application techniques for the various physical agents. Beginning with brief general comments regarding the use of electromedical equipment, it presents a brief summary of the physics of production and physiological effects of each agent along with step-by-step instructions and illustrations on how to use equipment. All instructions are generic enough to apply to a wide variety of equipment currently available. Conveniently spiral-bound for ease of use, it is a perfect compliment to any physical agents text.
