Electrotherapy is fast gaining mainstream acceptance, no doubt due to the growing mountain of clinical evidence demonstrating its effectiveness. To meet the growing demand for information, this scientifically rigorous guide gives healthcare professionals and engineers essential technical, biological, and clinical background together with hands-on guidelines to design highly effective electrotherapeutic devices and treatment protocols for today's expanding list of clinical applications. This definitive one-stop resource introduces electrotherapeutic fundamentals and discusses how the body's cells, tissues, and organs respond to electrotherapy. It explains how these mechanisms of action impact device and protocol design, and provides computer simulations useful in determining device performance. All considerations in the design and analysis of devices and protocols are addressed. The book also surveys the latest electrotherapy applications and developments in visual disease, wound and fracture healing, cancer, neurological disorders, and connective tissue disease, including the clinical data that back them up. Amply illustrated, this state-of-the-art volume will become a benchmark guide and reference for all practitioners, researchers, and engineers involved in electrotherapy and electrotherapeutic device design and applications.
