Department of Electrotherapy & Electrodiagnosis
Electrotherapy & Electrodiagnosis is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that involves the use of electrical energy for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. At college, our Electrotherapy & Electrodiagnosis program provides students with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills to utilize various forms of electrical stimulation and diagnostic techniques to treat a wide range of conditions, from pain management to muscle re-education.
Program Objectives
The Electrotherapy & Electrodiagnosis program aims to:
- Develop a thorough understanding of the principles and applications of electrotherapy in clinical practice.
- Equip students with the skills to safely and effectively use electrotherapy modalities for pain relief, tissue healing, muscle strengthening, and nerve stimulation.
- Teach the fundamentals of electrodiagnosis, including nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG), to assess neuromuscular disorders.
- Promote the development of clinical reasoning skills for selecting appropriate electrotherapy techniques based on patient assessment and evidence-based practice.
- Foster a deep understanding of the physiological effects of electrical stimulation and its role in rehabilitation.
