RHAB 240 - Practice Skills - Modalities

Course Description:
In this course, the many uses and applications of therapeutic modalities in rehabilitation and client-centered care are practiced in a lab setting as learners focus on the healing process, the physical agents affecting or impeding healing, and the client’s response to treatment. Learners will draw on their knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathology while studying the rationale for selecting and using different modalities ranging from hydrotherapy, ambulatory aids, electrical stimulation, mechanical traction, ultrasound, and the use of hot and cold packs.
