Electrical agents used in physiotherapy

Electrical agents used in physiotherapy are therapeutic modalities that apply electrical energy to produce physiological effects such as pain relief, muscle stimulation, tissue healing, and improved function. For examinations, you must know the major classes of electrical agents, their basic effects on nerves and muscles, common clinical uses, and the principles that guide safe and appropriate selection.
