BASIC
Understanding and Applying Modern Electrical Stimulation
Did you know that electrostimulation can also be performed in a way that is ICF-compliant?
Electrostimulation is a useful tool that has rightfully earned its place in neurorehabilitation. In this course, you’ll learn about the different types of electrostimulation and, by the end, you’ll know when to use each one.
In our online course on electrostimulation (ES), you’ll learn practical and scientifically grounded approaches to effectively applying this method in therapeutic practice. Designed specifically for occupational therapists, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals, the course provides a foundation in ES to support muscle activity, motor learning, and structural and functional improvements in your patients.
