✦ Synopsis

A package of Laboratory Manual for Physical Agents: Theory and Practice, 2nd Edition and the textbook, Physical Agents: Theory and Practice, 2nd Edition is available (ISBN-13: 978-0-8036-1297-6 / ISBN-10: 0-8036-1297-4). The exercises in Laboratory Manual for Physical Agents: Theory and Practice foster strong critical-thinking skills in the clinical application of physical agents. Each activity provides specific instructions and guiding questions, giving your students the opportunity to make observations, think as a therapist, and draw their own conclusions, thus strengthening the concepts that are so critical to their success. This new edition is more visually engaging, loaded with new photographs and illustrations to depict patient positions, equipment, and application techniques. The Appendix contains step-by-step instructions for various application techniques, such as TENS, hydrotherapy, and iontophoresis.
