13TH EDITION: APS E4 TEAM TRAINING - INVASIVE PHYSIOTHERAPY - ECOGUIDED PERCUTANEOUS ELECTROLYSIS - JUNE 9 - 2023 - VIA ZOOM

In this course, the latest advances in the field of invasive physiotherapy will be presented through the development of Agupunt's APS e4 equipment, which includes the application of invasive electrotherapy techniques such as percutaneous electrolysis, neuromodulation, electro-puncture, percutaneous electrostimulation, or monopolar stimulation to allow a clinical improvement of the patient and promote tissue repair.

Once this course has been completed, the physiotherapist will be able to apply all the currents of the Agupunt APS e4 equipment. The specific Electrolysis module delves into the therapeutic principles of Percutaneous Electrolysis as a complementary technique to other manual techniques and to the therapeutic exercise of habitual clinical use in physiotherapy in the approach to degenerative processes of the tendon.

In the Percutaneous Neuromodulation module, the biophysical bases of the operation of this technique will be explained, explaining the different most recent protocols for its use, both for pain management and for better motor control of the structures.

In the dry electropuncture module, the theory of trigger points will be addressed and the different modes of treatment with the use of the most current percutaneous currents will be explained.

In the Electroacupuncture module, the most classic approaches of this technique will be explained, comparing it with the methods of Neuromodulation and Dry Electropuncture.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY:

For the development of the course the following teaching methodology will be used:

– The course will be taught by the teacher assisted by computer support with slides (PowerPoint).

– A dossier will be provided with support material for the classes.

– The use of the necessary material for the practices will be used (APS e4 equipment, ultrasound (if applicable), needles, gloves, alcohol…)

– Guided practices will be carried out among the course participants.

The course is essentially practical.
