CONFERENCE DATESFebruary 26th – 27th, 2015

CONFERENCE TOPICAdvances in Electro-Physical Agents: A Evidenced-Based Approach

to Clinical Utilization

CONFERENCE DESCRIPTIONThis two-day Conference will provide the clinician with evidence

based utilization of electrophysical agents (EPAs) including

neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), electro-pain

modulation (TENS), functional electrical stimulation (FES), and

ultrasound. This will be accomplished through a combination of

lecture and hands-on workshop sessions aimed at identifying the

indications for and evidence-based use of these electrophysical

agents. Day 1 will consist of lectures addressing the physiologic

basis and biophysical properties of EPAs including current best

evidence for use, administration, parameter selection, and integration

of EPAs into the complete patient care plan. Techniques to be

demonstrated and practiced during Day 2 workshops will include

NMES for muscle training and strengthening including functional

clinical applications to a variety of musculoskeletal diagnoses,

identification of proper dosing with NMES, use and progression of

FES in various populations, selection and rationale for use of electro-

pain modulation and ultrasound. All speakers are internationally

recognized for their clinical utilization, research, and

peer-reviewed publications in the respective EPAs.
