Abstract     The authors review the existing physical modalities for treatment of chronic wounds and show the advantages of electric current and electromagnetic field stimulation. Direct currents, low frequency pulsed currents, monophasic high voltage pulses and pulsed electromagnetic fields are compared in respect of their efficiency. Wound healing quantification methods, wound healing dynamics and prognostic factors in the prediction of wound healing proposed by the authors represent significant contribution in understanding the mechanisms of electric wound healing.
