Clinical manual of physical therapy

Physical therapy plays a relevant role within various areas of medicine ranging from orthopedics to neurology.
The techniques and materials used for physiotherapy applications are highly developed and improved and so require the operators to be continuously updated.
In this volume the author provides an updated picture of the methods used, technical methods of application and of systems currently used in physiotherapy, with an overriding aim to offer the reader with an exhaustive text which, however, gives scope to a quick and easy reference.
The text includes all the techniques which are today mainly used in physical therapy which, for each method, are described as: physiological effects, materials, equipment, therapeutic indications and technical indications of application (with doses, methods of application, points of application, etc.).
This manual therefore bears remarkable importance for physiatrists, physiotherapists, orthopaedicians, neurologists and sport medicine specialists who would like to supplement their knowledge or have a handy reference volume at work. It is moreover very useful also as a basic text at physiotherapy training schools and universities.
