AB  - It  is  probably  not  surprising  that  many  students  and  clinicians  feel  intimidated  or  confused  by  clinical  electrotherapy  considering  the  many  waveforms  and  parameters  presented  in  Chapter  9.  Waveforms  vary  in  many  ways,  and  these  variations  are  even  more  obvious  when  looking  at  the  variety  of  dials,  buttons,  switches,  and  lights  found  on  electrotherapeutic  devices.  However,  this  confusion  is  entirely  unnecessary,  because  a  competent  and  clinically  effective  knowledge  of  electrotherapeutics  can  easily  be  obtained  by  understanding  how  waveforms  and  parameters  result  in  the  many  effects  produced  with  electrotherapy.  Unfortunately,  intimidation  and  confusion  are  perpetuated  by  commercial  hype,  longstanding  myths,  well-meaning  but  poorly  informed  clinicians,  complex-appearing  instrumentation,  and  sometimes  misleading  user’s  manuals.  This  chapter  is  the  last  of  Section  II,  “Types  of  Modalities”,  and  will  present  further  fundamental  information  relevant  to  effective  use  of  electrical  stimulation  (ES).  Following  this  chapter,  Section  III  will  present  chapters  on  more  specific  areas  of  ES  with  corresponding  case  studies.
