Summary Table of Contents

The most comprehensive textbook on therapeutic modalities is now in full colorComplete coverage of all modalities, from simple application of cold pack to electric simulationTherapeutic Modalities in Rehabilitationis a well-illustrated text covering both the theory and practice of the use of therapeautic modalities for rehabilitation purposes. It is evidence-based, clinically useful, and supported and enhanced with case studies and laboratory activities to demonstrate the application of the modalities to patients. The fourth edition is highligh... MOREted by a new full-color design and content updated to reflect the most up-to-date evidence in support of modality treatments.Features Written by an author who was inducted into the National Athletic Trainers Association's Hall of Fame in 2004 Case studies provide real-life scenarios to help students prepare for various treatments and contact with actual patients An evaluation checklist is provided so the instructor or supervisor can assess competencyComplete coverage of all modality types: Part I: Foundations of Therapeutic Modalities; The Science of Therapeutic Modalities; The Healing Process and Guidelines for Using Therapeutic Modalities; The Role of Therapeutic Modalities in Wound Healing; Managing Pain with Therapeutic Modalities; Part II: Electrical Modalities; Basic Principles of Electricity; Electrical Stimulating Currents; Iontophoresis; Biofeedback; Principles of Electrophysiologic Evaluation and Testing; Part III: Thermal Modalities; Shortwave and Microwave Diathermy; Infrared Modalities; Therapeutic Ultrasound; Part IV: Light Therapy; Low-Level Laser Therapy; Ultraviolet Therapy; Part V: Mechanical Modalities; Spinal Traction; Intermittent Compression Devices; Part VI: Other Modalities; Therapeutic Massage; Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy; Part VII: Summary; The Physiologic Effects of Therapeutic Modality Intervention on the Body Systems; Appendix A-1. Locations of the Motor Points; Appendix A-2. Units of Measure.

Comprehensive Coverage of Therapeutic Modalities Used in a Clinical Setting Therapeutic Modalities in Rehabilitationis a theoretically based but practically oriented guide to the use of therapeutic modalities for practicing clinicians and their students. It clearly presents the basis for use of each different type of modality and allows clinicians to make their own decision as to which will be the most effective in a given situation. Presented in full color, the text describes various concepts, principles, and theories that are supported by scientific research, factual evidence, and experience of the authors in dealing with various conditions. The chapters in this text are divided into six parts: Part I#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;Foundations of Therapeutic Modalities begins with a chapter that discusses the scientific basis for using therapeutic modalities and classifies the modalities according to the type of energy each uses.. Guidelines for selecting the most appropriate modalities for use in different phases of the healing process are presented. Part II#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;Electrical Energy Modalities includes detailed discussions of the principles of electricity, and electrical stimulating currents, iontophoresis, and biofeedback. Part III#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;Thermal Energy Modalities discusses those modalities which produce a change in tissue temperatures through conduction including thermotherapy and cryotherapy. Part IV-Sound Energy Modalities discusses those modalities that utilize acoustic energy to produce a therapeutic effect. These include therapeutic ultrasound and a lesser known modality-extracorporal shockwave therapy. Part V#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;Electromagnetic Energy Modalities includes chapters on both the diathermies and low-level laser therapy. Part VI#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;#xE2;#xAC;#x1C;Mechanical Energy Modalities includes chapters on traction, intermittent compression and therapeutic massage. Each chapter ins Parts II-IV discuss: the physiologic basis for use, clinical applications, specific techniques of application through the use of related laboratory activities, and relevant individual case studies for each therapeutic modality.
