This course will introduce students to the use of thermal, acoustic, mechanical, electromagnetic, and electrotherapeutic biophysical agents in clinical practice. Clinical reasoning is emphasized for the appropriate selection of biophysical agents based on current best evidence of physiological effects, recommended dosage, and efficacy as well as considerations of patient characteristics including indications and contraindications. Students will also learn appropriate documentation standards for use of biophysical agents. Laboratory sessions emphasize the safe and effective application of biophysical agents for patient care.
