Critical appraisal of current evidence examines the physical and physiological effects of these modalities, with particular emphasis on pain, inflammation, tissue healing, and muscle re- education. Clinical decision-making emphasizes the appropriate selection of physical agents and treatment parameters based on patient indications and contraindications/precautions and desired treatment effects. Laboratory sessions develop skills for the safe and effective clinical application of physical agents and therapeutic modalities.
