The first textbook specifically for physical therapist assistant (PTA) students on physical agent modalities, this resource will greatly enhance a PTA curriculum. Focusing on the use and execution of each physical agent, it covers thermal, sound-energy, mechanical, electrical, and electromagnetic agents. Visual references and aids, in addition to clinical tips and case studies are sprinkled throughout each chapter, along with sample documentation and checklists to follow when documenting a therapeutic modality.
