Initiative Title | (VIEW NOTE) Vectra Genisys laser/laser module |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2007-2008 |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | *During the Spring Semester 2009, the PTA Program had the opportunity to purchase a portion of the Vectra Genisys Combination Unit. The components purchased were; multiple waveform electrotherapy, dual frequency ultrasound, EMG, combination electrotherapy, and EMG activated stimulation. * Vectra Genisys Laser can be purchased separately as this unit is modular and can be added upon. It will provide educational opportunities for our students in three light treatment options (SLD, light therapy, and cold laser). Currently we do not maintain any equipment that can deliver this form of treatment/education. * By purchasing this combination unit over the course of a two year period, it has allowed for improved budgetting while at the same time allowing for continued upgrades to our current technology (a necessity of our accreditation process). * Additionally, this unit provides state of the art treatment options - on-board patient data management, operator remote controls, both anatomical and pathological libraries and easily added to the combination system's cart for portability. * These devices will maintain our ability to compete with other colleges in our ability to offer up to the minute PTA educational opportunities. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Entry level students will not have previous experience with working with this type of equipment and therefore be less prepared for the clinical experience. |

|
By the purchase and implementation of the Vectra Genysis laser module the PTA program will be educating it's students to meet the needs of the clinical community with state of the art treatment equipment. Current PTA program equipment resources do not match community based clinical settings. The cold laser has been widely used in the treatment of physical therapy related patients for many years with its inital implementation in the clinical setting approximately 40 years ago (1967). |
