| Summary |
"This book presents the historical development, the state of art and the future of the application of PEMF for treatment of various medical problems, including initiating various healing processes from delayed fractures and pain relief, to multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. In perspective, this modality provides a practical, exogenous method for inducing cell and tissue modification attempted to return the injured tissues to their normal physiological status. The book will review the current state of equipment for REM, as well as highlight worldwide therapeutic achievements. Explores the past, present and future of pulsed electromagnetic field therapies, and presents the development of theory and laboratory research during the last 70 years. Reviews the available equipment for PEMF and worldwide, state of the art, therapeutic achievements. Includes recent achievements and applications of electroporation modalities"-- Provided by publisher |
