'[Thanks] to the combination of evidence based information and easy reading. I feel that this book is one of the must have texts for all physiotherapists with an interest in respiratory or cardiac problems' - "The Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Respiratory Care Newsletter". 'Now in its fourth edition this text is a must for all physiotherapy students. The chapters are well laid out, and all of the information is explained in an easily understandable way. This new edition provides the most up to date information for clinical practice from paediatrics through to the elderly. Chapter six is particularly useful, it provides the reader with case studies and then works through a logical way of problem solving along with introducing the reader to specific outcome measures. All in all a must have text!' - Laura Culpan, Physiotherapy student, University of Bradford.

With a new editor at the helm, "Electrotherapy: Evidence-Based Practice" (formerly "Clayton's Electrotherapy") is back in its 12th edition, continuing to uphold the standard of clinical research and evidence base for which it has become renowned. This popular textbook comprehensively covers the use of electrotherapy in clinical practice and includes the theory which underpins that practice. Over recent years the range of therapeutic agents involved and the scope for their use have greatly increased and the new edition includes and evaluates the latest evidence and most recent developments in this fast-growing field. Tim Watson brings years of clinical, research and teaching experience to the new edition, with a host of new contributors, all leaders in their specialty. 'An essential text for any student wanting to underpin the theory behind electrotherapy. The beginning of the book is largely concerned with the principles of electrotherapy, with the latter chapters dealing with each modality individually. Contraindications are clearly highlighted for each modality, as is the evidence base for the effectiveness of the treatment' - Laura Culpan, Physiotherapy student, University of Bradford, UK.
