Aims

At the end of this course, students will be able to use the principles of electricity and magnetism to explain the functioning of the main equipment used in electrotherapy.

Main themes

The student will study the properties of basic electrical circuits supplied with DC and AC. This knowledge should enable it to understand the basic operation of pacemakers for clinical use and scientific basis of electrotherapy. Some applications are seen in more detail (eg IONTOPHORESIS, stimulation of healthy and pathological muscle, électroanalgésie)

Content and teaching methods

As part of the course, principles of electricity and magnetism will be discussed. These principles will then explain how the various devices used in electrotherapy. A brief overview of his (their) action (s) physiological (s) will also be addressed.
