Electrotherapy and Tissue Repair Compiled Reference List 2006

2006 Compiled Electrotherapy and Tissue Repair References This list is not claimed to be a ‘complete’ list of references in these topic areas, but may provide a useful resource for those working with the research and other published literature. There are many more references than are listed here for many of the topic areas, and I have therefore tried to identify those that are most likely to be of relevance (as I see it) rather than include all the ‘peripheral’ material that I find fascinating, but the reader might find is simply a form of clutter! My apologies to any and all authors of papers that have not been included. Tim Watson February 2007
