Download or read book Manual of Practical Electrotherapy written by Singh Jagmohan and published by JAYPEE BROTHERS PUBLISHERS. This book was released on 2011 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manual of Practical Electrotherapy has been written in a systematic manner in a very simple approach for the students, professionals of physiotherapy, teachers, doctors, rehabilitation professionals, other paramedics and public in general. Recently lots of advances have taken place in the field of electrotherapy. Utmost efforts have been made to cover all the necessary aspects of electrotherapy. All chapters have been written in a very simple and lucid manner. In ancient times, two modes of treatments?Physical therapy and Chemotherapy were available to mankind, i.e. treatment by physical means and treatment by chemical means. Physical means included the use of sun, earth, air, water, electricity, etc. Chemical means included chemical agents which were therapeutically useful for clinical purposes. Electrotherapy is an ever advancing field. Recent advances have made electrotherapy very interesting, lots of new modalities have been found effective for the treatment of various ailments. Utmost efforts have been made to make the textbook uptodate. Starting from the history of electrotherapy to the recent advances, all the aspects have been covered in details. I have tried to give a fairly complete coverage of the subject describing the most common modalities known to be employed by physiotherapists. The intention is to explain how these modalities work and their effects upon the patient. In the initial chapter, I have tried to lay the foundations of the principles of electrotherapy because a thorough understanding of these principles will ultimately lead to safer and more effective clinical practice. The nature, production, effects and uses on the body tissues of each modality are explained and illustrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electrotherapy and Light Therapy World War II thus found physical therapy ready for further expansion and for its fullest utilization for the benefit of war casualties. No wonder that the number Of physical therapy departments and training centers in Army and Navy hospitals and other service and rehabilitation centers has reached an all time high. The need for caring for the injured, convalescent and those to be rehabilitated has made physical therapy methods the cornerstone of this work and also by practical necessity brought occupational therapy in close correlation to it. All this is likely to continue for many years to come. At the same time, the term Physical Medicine became Officially adopted in connection with the greatly increased 1 scope of physical methods for treatment and diagnosis. The American Medical Association, in renaming in 1944 its Council on Physical Therapy the Council on Physical Medicine, stated: Physical medicine includes the employment of the physical and other effective properties of light, heat, cold, water, electricity, massage, manipulation, exercise and mechan ical devices for physical and occupational therapy in the diagnosis and treatment Of disease. In the same year a great American citizen and humanitarian appointed the Baruch Committee on Physical Medicine, and after its extensive survey of the needs of this branch of medicine he donated a fund Of over a million dollars to carry out the most urgent educational and research requirements. Simultaneously, the National Research Council and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis also made grants for research in physical medicine. As a result of all these new developments, prospects for large scale increase in instruo tion, research and clinical application of physical medicine in the near future are indeed bright. In the fifth edition of this work a concise presentation Of all present day phases of physical medicine is offered, While special emphasis on electro therapy and light therapy is being retained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electrotherapy and Light Therapy The American Medical Association created in 1927 a Council of Physical Therapy which became a potent factor in disseminating proper information, in advocating basic training in physical therapy, and in curbing unwarranted claims and commercialization. As a result of all these factors, in the years up to World War II there was constant progress in education, research, and in the development of new methods and the expansion of clinical application of physical therapy. The lines of demarcation between physical therapy that can be effectively carried on by general practitioners, by specialists in various departments of medicine and by specialists in "physical medicine" became gradually established. World War II thus found physical therapy ready for further expansion and for its fullest utilization for the benefit of war casualties. No wonder that the number of physical therapy departments and training centers in Army and Navy hospitals and other service and rehabilitation centers has reached an all time high. The need for caring for the injured, convalescent and those to be rehabilitated has made physical therapy methods the cornerstone of this work and also by practical necessity brought occupational therapy in close correlation to it. All this is likely to continue for many years to come. At the same time, the term Physical Medicine became officially adopted in connection with the greatly increased scope of physical methods for treatment and diagnosis.

Download or read book Functional Electrical Rehabilitation written by Chandler A. Phillips and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On one of my returns to California, I attended the "Disabilities Expo 88" at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Among the various marvels oftech nology for the wheelchair disabled were stair-climbing wheelchairs, self raising and lowering kitchen cabinetry, and even a completely accessible "dude ranch" experience. At the same time, as a guest of the Southern California Chapter of the National Spinal Cord Injury Association, I was part of a small booth (among the more than two hundred exhibitors) in which we had spinal cord injured people up and walking with a lower extremity bracing system (the reciprocating gait orthosis) used at the PEERS Spinal Injury Program in Los Angeles. I had a young man, a C6/7 level quadriplegic, walking with electrical muscle stimulation and lower extremity bracing. The system is reviewed in Chapter 8 of this book. As these "disabled" persons walked erect and upright among their wheel chair bound colleagues and took long, confident strides past exhibits extol ling the latest technological virtues of yet another "new" wheelchair (Fig. 1), I reflected on the paradox of it all. What a majority of these paralyzed people W0re really looking for was an alteration oftheir disability so that they could more normally function (in an unaltered environment). What the great majority of the exhibitors were offering was an alteration of the environment so that they could more normally function (with an unaltered disability).
