Therapeutic Modalities

Group student project on pulsed ultrasound and its effects on tissue healing. The group was required to find peer-reviewed evidence of the effectiveness of pulsed ultrasound. Group member were: Max Nikolenko, Ashley Raciak, and Nick Harvey

Group student project on the effectiveness of ultrasound on pain, spasm, and pulsed US vs. exercise. Created by students: Christine Schwass, Aphrodite Daphnis, and Robbie Harrison at Chapman University.

Topics covered include: ultrasound energy, parameters of ultrasound, and applying ultrasound correctly based on current research evidence.

Topics covered include: mechanism of heat transfer; local effects of cryotherapy on inflammation, muscle spasm and pain, and circulation; role of compression with cryotherapy; and sensations associated with cold therapy.

Lecture #2 - Unit #1 This lecture covers the different theories of pain control, including some chemical mediators of pain modulation

Lecture #1 - Unit #1 Covers the phases of soft-tissue healing including the important chemical mediators of the acute inflammatory phase.
