General description This is a compulsory subject in the 2nd year of the Physiotherapy Degree (taught in the 2nd four-month period). It studies the therapeutic use of electric currents, ultrasound, phototherapy, magnetotherapy and their modalities.
Due to its contents, it is important to have previous knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biophysics and palpatory anatomy. In addition, its framework within the Degree also serves to generate in the students, together with the other subjects on basic general and specific knowledge of Physiotherapy, a base that facilitates the development of the subjects called in the curriculum as "Physiotherapy in Clinical Specialities" and "Clinical" Stays, in third and fourth years, and which involve the interrelation of the knowledge of basic and specific assessment and treatment used within the arsenal of a physiotherapist to treat specific pathological processes within each clinical speciality: traumatology, rheumatology, orthopaedics, peripheral neurology, genitourinary, etc.
