Annotation
The subject follows the course "Physical Therapy I". In the theoretical part of the course, students will acquire knowledge of the principles of using individual types of physical energies for the purpose of therapy of patients with various types of disabilities.
In the practical part, the students are introduced to the technical parameters of instrumentation, which are used for the application of physical energies, including the training of its operation. In addition to therapeutic procedures, students will acquire knowledge and skills for electrodiagnostics.
By completing the course, the student is equipped with the skills to apply physical therapy procedures using devices used in practice.
