Physical agents in rehabilitation : an evidence-based approach to practice / Michelle H. Cameron. - Fifth edition. - xi, 448 pages : illustrations, portraits ; 28 cm -
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction to physical agents. The physiology of physical agents -- Physical agents in clinical practice -- Pathology and patient problems. Inflammation and tissue repair -- Pain and pain management -- Tone abnormalities -- Motion restrictions -- Thermal agents. Introduction to thermal agents -- Superficial cold and heat -- Ultrasound -- Diathermy -- Electrical currents. Introduction to electrotherapy -- Electrical currents for muscle contractions -- Electrical currents for pain control -- Electrical currents for soft tissue healing -- Electromyographic (EMG) Biofeedback -- Electromagnetic Agents. Lasers and light -- Ultraviolet therapy -- Mechanical agents. Hydrotherapy -- Traction -- Compression.
