Pulsed Signal Therapy (a unique form of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy)Sports injury has been available for clinical use and research for more than ten years. However, the research on the effect of electrical stimulation on bone dates back to the early 1960s. As a result of that research, Pulsed Electromagnetic Field stimulation of non-union became an established practice and is used in numerous clinics around the world.
The history of the early research in Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields is well encapsulated in the book “The Body Electric” by Robert O. Becker MD and Gary Selden, William Morrow and Company (1985). This book contains many references to the physiological research behind the electrical stimulation of bone. Andrew Bassett was one of the pioneers that then moved the electrical stimulation method to the electromagnetic form.
