Physical
Agents in Rehabilitation: From Research to Practice
is a straightforward and accessible guide teaches the how
and why for effective and safe application of physical agents
within a complete rehabilitation program. It covers everything
from new applications to thermal agents, hydrotherapy, traction,
compression, ultrasound, electrical currents, and electromagnetic
radiation. Readers of Physical Agents in Rehabilitation: From
Research to Practice will learn when and when not to use physical
agents, how to integrate these tools into a patient's overall
treatment plan, and how to document treatment to optimize
reimbursement and minimize liability. Clinical case studies
are streamlined to provide accurate information quickly while
enhancing decision-making skills. Evidenced-based practice
is incorporated throughout Physical Agents in Rehabilitation:
From Research to Practice, justifying treatment choices with
concrete, up-to-the-minute research data.
Physical
Agents in Rehabilitation: From Research to Practice is a comprehensive
resource that provides the information needed to apply physical
agents effectively and safely within a complete rehabilitation
program. Coverage is divided into three sections. The first
section addresses the types of problems that can be treated
with physical agents. The second section explores the physical
agents themselves, including step-by-step instructions on
how to apply them. Finally, the third section explains how
to integrate physical agents into the entire treatment plan
for a patient.
