Comprehensive Coverage of Therapeutic Modalities Used in a
Clinical Setting
A Doody's Core Title for 2011
"Therapeutic Modalities in Rehabilitation" is 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--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--Electrical Energy Modalities includes detailed
discussions of the principles of electricity, and electrical
stimulating currents, iontophoresis, and biofeedback.
Part III--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--Electromagnetic Energy Modalities includes chapters on
both the diathermies and low-level laser therapy.
Part VI--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.
