As a result of successfully completing this course, students should be able to:
1. explain the physical basis, principles and physiological effects of deep heating therapies, infrared and light radiation therapies, and electrodiagnostic and biofeedback modalities as applied in physiotherapy clinical practice;
2. discuss and apply effective treatment using deep heating, infrared and light radiation interventions;
3. discuss and apply effective electrodiagnostic and biofeedback modalities;
4. demonstrate safe and efficient application of advanced electrical and physical agents used in physiotherapy practice;
5. evaluate the evidence of efficacy for deep heating, infrared and light radiation interventions, and apply this knowledge to clinical decision making;
6. evaluate the evidence of validity and reliability for electrodiagnostic and biofeedback modalities, and apply this knowledge to clinical decision making;
7. demonstrate a basic understanding of physiotherapy clinical practice in women's health, burns management, hand therapy and palliative care;
8. effectively apply basic physiotherapy skills in women's health, burns management, hand therapy and palliative care;
9. discuss issues, policies and procedures relevant to physiotherapy practice management in both the private and public sectors;
10. explain advanced professional issues, including legal and ethical.
