Course Purpose and Content

Course Objectives: Electrotherapy involves the therapeutic use of electrical currents and is widely applied in physiotherapy using various electrotherapy modalities. The basis of this treatment lies in understanding the electrophysical principles behind the effects of electrical currents on tissues and developing appropriate application methods.
Course Content: Electrophysical mechanisms, the physiological responses of muscle and nerve, the excitability properties of healthy and denervated muscle will be discussed, along with the basic characteristics and application principles of low-frequency and medium-frequency currents.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Defines the principles of use of electrotherapy devices used in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation.
2) Selects electrotherapy devices according to indications and defines their differences.
3) Applies electrotherapy modalities according to diseases.
