Latest Evidence of Electrotherapy: Pain Management and NMES

   Pain and weakness are two significant barriers that will limit a patient’s ability to participate in skilled rehabilitation. Therefore, knowledge and implementation of evidence-based electrotherapy to combat these impairments is critical to enable increased participation in rehab, achieving the best possible outcome. This one-day workshop is intended to provide clinicians with the most current in-depth information about the fundamentals of electrotherapy for pain management and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). The course materials and clinical protocols presented are evidence-based and oriented to immediate clinical application of therapeutic Electrical Stimulation. The hands-on lab provides active participation to reinforce concepts and techniques using electrotherapy applications for common treatment indications in physical rehabilitation. Participants will learn how to incorporate evidence-based electrotherapy protocols and establish appropriate and measurable goals to track progression of pain and/or strength and how it relates to improving overall function.
