Abstract
Electromagnetic fields exposure from physiotherapy equipment can be human health risk factor, therefore their adequate hygienic assessments are necessity. Studies of the physiotherapy equipment showed an excess of Russian hygiene norms more than 5 times. Electromagnetic condition adequate hygienic assessment requires accounting of combined EMF exposure of various frequencies and generation modes, personal exposure monitoring and biological studies.
