The Faradic Current in Physiotherapy course provides learners with a focused understanding of the principles and clinical use of faradic-type electrical current in physiotherapy practice. The course explains the characteristics of faradic current, including pulse duration, frequency, and waveform, and its role in stimulating innervated muscles.
Students will learn how faradic current is applied to improve muscle contraction, prevent muscle atrophy, and support neuromuscular re-education. Emphasis is placed on correct electrode placement, parameter selection, patient positioning, and safety considerations, enabling effective and responsible clinical application of this electrotherapy modality.
This course has been curated by Riphah International University faculty and staff using publicly available third-party content and Open Educational Resources (OER) for self-paced learning. Learners will engage with curated open-access materials to achieve the course learning outcomes. All third-party content is used under open-access or fair-use policies, while any original materials are developed specifically for this learning experience.
