Explain the electrical charges within the body (the resting membrane potential- the action potential- propagation of nerve impulses through different nerve fibres) and treatment principles associated with electrotherapy -for pain control, muscle 

spasm and tissue healing.

Differentiate between modalities of electrical stimulation (low or medium 

frequency currents) and between types of current used therapeutically (direct current 

and iontophoresis, interrupted direct current-long and short duration- evenly 

alternating current).

Recognize physiological basis of different stimulation currents on tissues and safety measures with electrical currents and 

treatment of current shock

Identify principles of application of different stimulation currents and when 

modifications are needed to the treatment plan (for electrotherapy use).

Demonstrate safety measures with electrical currents and treatment of current shock and the ability to work competently with electrotherapy (as 

determined by course instructor or clinical trainer) - includes safe and appropriate 

administration of electrotherapy.

and use of electrical changes in evaluation and diagnosis (EMG and SDC- technique and interpretation- EMG biofeedback
