Description

This 30-hour program is designed to meet the requirements for occupational therapists to use physical agent modalities in their clinical practice. Additionally, you can explore this interactive tool for a hands-on learning experience. This course will cover the use of both superficial physical agent modalities (SPAMs) and deep physical agent modalities (DPAMs). The course is held over two weekends, each weekend with a total of 15 contact hours of education. Course Description - Weekend A: SPAMs and Ultrasound During this weekend you will learn how to use ultrasound and superficial thermal agents safely and effectively in your clinical practice. The course uses lectures, case studies, participant problem solving and lots of hands-on practice to teach the physical and physiological principles underlying the application of SPAMs and ultrasound and to give you the knowledge and confidence to use them to help patients achieve their functional goals. Course Description - Weekend B: Electrical Stimulation During this weekend focus is on the clinical application of electrical stimulation. As with weekend A, this course uses lectures, case studies, participant problem solving and lots of hands-on practice to teach the physical and physiological principles underlying the application of electrical stimulation and to give you the knowledge and confidence to use electrical stimulation safely and effectively to help patients achieve their functional goals. Ultrasound; superficial physical agent modalities (SPAMs); including hot packs, cold packs, paraffin, fluidotherapy, whirlpool, light and lasers.
