Electrical Modalities

As an occupational therapy practitioner, it is extremely important to consider changes in our state laws that effect our practice. One such recent change involves the use of electrical modalities. Visit the site: http://www.mdotboard.org/legreg.htm and review the information on physical agent modalities.

After reviewing the information provided, answer the following questions:

1. What are the requirements for each physical agent modality in terms of educational hours?

2. What are the requirements for each physical agent modality in terms of supervision?

3. Create a form to document and maintain educational experiences with the use of physical agent modalities which are in compliance with the MD boards guidelines.

Present your information to your instructor via e-mail upon completion.
