"Wound care is covered in the 2nd or 3rd year of Physical Therapy school and is a part of every school's curriculum. Examples of interventions that are provided by physical therapists include sharp debridement, dressing selection and application, compression for both chronic venous insufficiency and lymphedema, electrical stimulation, total contact casets and orthotic fabrication for neuropathic wounds, ultrosound, pulsed lavage with suction and negative pressure wound therapy. In addition, many wound therapists are included in the diagnostic processes, especially determining the functional and gait impairments that may contribute to wound formation."-- Provided by publisher |
