Electrotherapy Explained is an excellent research-based exploration of the major types of electrophysical agents used in clinical practice, particularly human and also animal. For the fourth edition, two new authors join the writing team, presenting the latest information for today's clinicians. The text has been completely updated with a major rewrite of the material, particularly that on electrical stimulation. This book continues to focus on evidence: clinical and biophysical evidence that affects how and which electrotherapies may be of use clinically and when. The inclusion of biophysics as well as clinical evidence and principles of application, enables clinicians to move away from traditional 'recipe-based' approaches and rely more on their own clinical reasoning. The focus remains on humans but the relevance of the principles for using and applying different modalities is explained clearly, providing guidelines for clinicians across disciplines and specialties. - Up to date research detailing the evidence both supportive and deprecatory for the use of each modality - Written by experts from biophysics and the clinical domains - Comprehensive and well referenced - Clear and well chosen illustrations elucidate the text - Text boxes and summary sections help to break down what is sometimes a complex subject into manageable and memorable chunks - Contraindications and risks have been updated in light of the most recent research - Three books for the price of one - the website (http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780750688437) contains the entire texts of 'Physical Principles Explained' by Low and Reed, and 'Biophysical Bases of Electrotherapy' by Ward. The text directs readers to the website for further reading at relevant points

Physical Management for Neurological Conditions comprehensively covers the essentials of neurorehabilitation starting with thirteen guiding principles, and a new chapter on clinical reasoning and assessment. It discusses the physical management of common neurological conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's followed by less common conditions such as inherited neurological conditions, motor neuron disease, polyneuropathies and muscle disorders. Produced by a team of international editors and experts, this fifth edition is the most up-to-date evidence-based textbook available for undergraduate students and qualified health professionals alike, focusing on selecting appropriate evidence-based tools rather than subscribing to any specific treatment approaches. It is a core physiotherapy textbook designed to provide students with everything they need to pass the neurological component of their degree. - Fully updated to provide comprehensive information on optimal physical management within movement limitations suitable for any health care context or environment - Using international case studies to apply theory to clinical practice - Easy to navigate and understand – for students, new graduates and therapists returning to practice or changing scope of practice. - New content on assessment, clinical reasoning, technology-based rehabilitation, and complex case management including disorders of consciousness and adults with cerebral palsy - Full update of the evidence-base within each chapter, including reference to the increased use of remote delivery of services and challenges accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic - New international authors
