title: Electromagnetic fields in medicine - The state of art.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Intense development of methods belonging to physical medicine has been noted recently. There are treatment methods, which in many cases lead to reduction treatment time and positively influence on quality of life treatment patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The present physical medicine systematically extends their therapeutic possibilities. This above applies to illnesses and injuries of locomotor system, diseases affecting of soft tissues, as well as chronic wounds.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The evidence on this are the results of basic and clinical examinations relating the practical use of electromagnetic fields in medicine.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In this work the authors introduced the procedure using the current knowledge relating to physical characteristic and biological effects of the magnetic fields. In the work the following methods were used: static magnetic fields, spatial magnetic fields, the variable magnetic fields both with laser therapy (magnetolaserotherapy) and variable magnetic fields both with light optical non-laser (magnetoledtherapy) talked.
