This course provides students with the theory and technical application of commonly used physical agent modalities as they relate to various clinical conditions throughout the lifespan. The course addresses the physical and biophysical changes that occur with the application of thermal and electrical agents. Students will use clinical reasoning to select and apply the appropriate agent to determine the body’s response for indicated pathological conditions. This course also emphasizes the principles of orthotics in occupational therapy. Students employ critical thinking skills to design and fabricate splints or other orthotics to attain intervention goals for selected clinical conditions across the lifespan.
