Biophysical principles of superficial heat modalities, cold therapy and hydrotherapy, special practice technics, practice examples are observed.
The students who receive this lesson can define special practice techniques of superficial heat modalities and hydrotherapy methods, can analyse and practice of use on different diseases.
Biophysical principles of superficial heat modalities (Infrared, Ultraviole, laser, fluidotherapy), moist heat practice (Hot Pack, Parafin etc), cold therapy and hydrotherapy (bath, whirpool, hubber tank, showers, pool therapy, methods of water exercise) are observed. The clinical use, special practice techniques, advantages and disadvantages of these modalities on traumatic cases, skin diseases, neurological diseases, orthopedic problems, reumatic diseases, systemic diseases, vasculer diseases and problems related on pelvic are researced.
