Description
This course describes electrotherapeutic modalities, clinical electrophysiologic testing, and application of thermal modalities (e.g., diathermy, therapeutic heat and cold, therapeutic ultrasound, low-power lasers, ultraviolet therapy, infrared light). In addition, the underlying scientific principles, and clinical uses and application of electrotherapeutic modalities, thermal modalities, along with clinical electrophysiologic testing are incorporated. Major topics in this course include: electrical stimulation of muscle, electrical stimulation to control posture and movement (functional electrical stimulation [FES]/neuromuscular electrical stimulation [NMES], electrical stimulation to control pain, electrical stimulation to promote tissue healing, iontophoresis, electroneuromyography, electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction velocity (NCV), and biofeedback. Analysis, synthesis, and critical thinking will be emphasized in lectures, class discussions, and during small group activities i
