Postgraduate Diploma in Evoked Potentials, Intraoperative Monitoring and Neurophysiological Techniques for Therapeutic Purposes.
Evoked potentials, intraoperative monitoring and neurophysiological techniques for therapeutic purposes are tools used in veterinary medicine to diagnose and treat a variety of neurological conditions and other diseases. Evoked potentials are techniques for recording the electrical activity of the central nervous system in response to an external stimulus, such as a sound signal or a flash of light. These potentials can be used to diagnose specific neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, myasthenia gravis and optic neuropathy. Intraoperative monitoring is used during surgery to assess and minimize the risk of neurological damage. During spinal or brain surgery, evoked potentials, spontaneous movements and muscle activity can be monitored to detect any changes in the normal functioning of the nervous system. This can help surgeons adjust the course of surgery to avoid neurological injury.
Neurophysiological techniques for therapeutic purposes include transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and neurological rehabilitation. TENS uses low-frequency electrical currents to stimulate peripheral nerves, relieving pain and improving muscle function and range of motion. Neurological rehabilitation includes exercises and physical therapy designed to help patients regain strength and movement after neurological injury or surgery. Evoked potentials, intraoperative monitoring and neurophysiological techniques for therapeutic purposes are tools used to diagnose and treat a variety of neurological conditions and other diseases. They are advanced tools that can help veterinarians provide more accurate and effective treatments for their patients. TECH, the world's largest digital university, has a specialized academic program designed to provide students with solid skills in neurophysiology and related therapeutic techniques for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of neurological disorders. Students will learn to apply advanced neurophysiology techniques to monitor and improve neurological function.
