Learning outcomes
|
The course builds upon the previous study of electrophysical agents (EPAs), which it reviews and further expands. Students thus learn to understand in detail the mechanisms of action of physical procedures from various areas (i.e., mechanotherapy, contact electrotherapy, thermotherapy, and hydrotherapy, ...), their indications and contraindications, as well as the correct application that potentially leads to achieving the therapeutic goals prescribed by the physician. Practical instruction takes place in several blocks and in the form of self-study.
The student acquires decision-making skills in choosing a specific type and application technique of physical therapy based on the nature, degree, and stage of the disease.
