Clinicians and students on placement often need quick easy-to-access information when using an electrophysical agent (EPA) such as ultrasound, hot and cold packs, TENS machines etc in the clinic.
Questions such as ‘how high should the setting be?
’ ‘How long for?
’ ‘What are the contra-indications?
’ are often baffling to students on placement and to those practitioners who aren’t specialists in these techniques but are using them as supplements to what they do day-to-day.
This book comprises easy-access guidance for clinicians using EAPs.
Typical situations and occasions when this book will be required by a clinician include for the following: Selecting a modality when treating a patient with a particular condition/treatment aim, finding alternative ways of applying an EPA, justifying the use of a particular EPA for a clinical condition, determining evidence-based and appropriate dosages, using newly purchased equipment or EPAs with which the clinician is not familiar, and modifying how they use a modality.
