Tara JoManal,PT,OCS,SCS,has co-authored a revised chapter on electrical stimulation for pain control whit editor Lynn Snyder-Mackler. The fokus of this chapter is on the decision-making process in implmenting electrical stimulation for pain control and the evidence from clinicaltrials regarding treatnent efficacy. Sara Farquhar .PT,MPT,has also co authored the updated chapter on NMES for musle strengthening with Dr.Syder-Mackler. Jennifer Bushey. PT.
