Justification for new course, revision, unbanking, or renumbering:
Currently students take Sports Medicine Treatment Modalities- Laboratory (ATEP 3251) and
Sports Medicine Treatment Modalities (ATEP 3250) as co-requisites for a total of six meeting
hours per week, through 3/0 credit hours. The two meeting hours for ATEP 3251 are assigned
zero (0) credits hours and the four meeting hours for ATEP 3250 are assigned three (3) credit
hours. To comply with the College of Health & Human Performance standards for laboratory
credit, the proposed revision includes maintaining the two hour ATEP 3251 laboratory but
increase credit hours from zero (0) to one (1) credit hour and reduce ATEP 3250 classroom
meeting time from four hours to three hours to better comply with the three (3) credit hours
already assigned.

Identify the physiological principles in the use of therapeutic modalities, and the body’s
physiological responses during and following the application of therapeutic modalities.
Evaluate how to select and use therapeutic modalities to assist soft tissue recovery after
immobilization or loss of motion.
Describe the prevailing pain control theories and associated rationale for the selection and
use of therapeutic modalities for the control of acute and chronic pain.
Evaluate for therapeutic indications and contraindications associated with the application of
(a) cryotherapy, (b) superficial and deep heating thermotherapy, (c) lymphedema pumps,
(d) electrotherapeutic modalities, (e) cervical and lumbar traction, (f) soft tissue massage
and other contemporary therapeutic modalities.
Demonstrate proper techniques and assessment skills in using therapeutic modalities
including patient preparation, set-up, determination of dosage, and operational procedures.
The methods of evaluating and recording progress of the therapeutic modality treatments
and ability to select and apply appropriate parameters to the situation.
Demonstrate the application of common prescription and nonprescription pharmacological
agents used in conjunction with therapeutic modalities (i.e. topical ointments,
phonophoresis, iontophoresis).
Select the appropriate therapeutic modality for a treatment situation, and create a treatment
plan for injuries/conditions that are in acute, subacute and chronic stages.
