PT 792 Physical AgentsThis course covers the physical modalities, electrodiagnostic techniques, hydrotherapy, massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and acupressure/acustimulation. The modalities include thermal modalities, traction, continuous passive ROM, electrical stimulation, biofeedback, and electrodiagnostic techniques. The indications, contraindications, physiologic basis for therapeutic effect, and known efficacy are discussed in the lecture/discussion component. Students will experience the effect of each modality and develop psychomotor skills in the application of each modality during the laboratory portion of the course. Therapeutic implications of findings derived from electrodiagnostic testing are explored through the use of case studies and clinical examples. Students will develop skills in integrating the use of physical modalities into clinical practice through the use of case studies, class discussion, and computer-based interactive programs.
