About the Book
This Fourth Edition by Basanta Kumar Nanda is an extensively updated and comprehensive guide designed to strengthen the knowledge base of physiotherapy students in the domain of electrotherapy and actinotherapy. The book covers essential foundational concepts including basic electricity and magnetism, electrical safety, management of electric shock, and detailed discussions on low-, medium-, and high-frequency currents.

Advanced therapeutic modalities such as ultrasound therapy, lasers (low and high power), infrared and ultraviolet radiation therapy, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, targeted radiofrequency therapy, electromagnetic field therapy, transcranial magnetic and direct current stimulation, and biofeedback are presented with clarity and clinical relevance. Electrodiagnostic tests and their interpretation are also explained thoroughly.

Written in simple language and supported by clear diagrams and photographs, the book emphasizes the practical application of therapeutic modalities. Newly added chapters—Clinical Reasoning in Electrotherapy and Recent Advances in Electrotherapy—enhance its relevance to modern physiotherapy practice.

Featuring 505 MCQs with answers, the book serves as an excellent exam preparation tool for competitive examinations. Covering inflammation, tissue repair, and the role of physical agents, this edition offers a complete and updated learning package for students and practitioners seeking mastery in electrotherapy and actinotherapy.
