Book excerpt: This one-of-a-kind handbook is an excellent, quick-reference refresher on key points related to the appropriate and effective use of electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and laser light in clinical rehabilitative practice. In a convenient outline format, it summarizes the basic principles of how these modalities work and presents guidelines for clinical applications - including the use of electrical stimulation to manage pain, produce muscle contractions, and increase local circulation. Information is presented in an outline format featuring numbered lists, succinct explanations, and easy-to-read material. Thumb tabs for easy navigation through the modalities and application guidelines help users quickly find the information they need. Up-to-date, clinically relevant references from the most current literature ensure best practice guidelines. Clear photos and line drawings on nearly every page of this densely illustrated book provide at-a-glance reference and instruction, ideal for the clinical setting. Recommended applications and treatment parameters are provided to guide the practitioner through special tests. Contraindications and precautions inform practitioners when a particular test should be avoided and what potential adverse effects may occur.
