    • First use of electrical stimulation for therapeutic purposes utilized torpedo fish.
    • Hydrotherapy practices by Greeks and Romans, including baths and river worship.
    • Aristotle suggested oil and water massage for fatigue relief.
    • Emergence of electrotherapy began in the 1600s with electricity.
    • Introduction of therapeutic exercise in schools in Europe around the 1400s.

    Key Figures and Contributions

    • Christobal Mendez published "Llibro del Exercicio" in the 1500s, the first book on exercise in Spain.
    • In the U.S., massage, hydrotherapy, and exercise began around 1700.
    • Nicolas Andry, in 1723, is referred to as the "grandfather of orthopedics," relating exercise movement to musculoskeletal health.
    • Per Henrik Ling established the Royal Central Institute of Gymnastics in 1813, focusing on massage and exercise.

    Evolution of Terminology and Modalities

    • "Physiotherapy" first appeared in German ("Physiotherapie") in 1851 in Dr. Lorenz Gleich's writings.
    • In 1894, Dr. Edward Playter used "Physiotherapy" in an English publication.
    • Terminology evolved from "Physiotherapie" to "Physiotherapy" and subsequently to "Physical Therapy."

    Assessment and Documentation in Physical Therapy

    • SOAP Notes: A structured documentation format used in physical therapy comprising Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan sections.
      • Subjective: Patient's personal response and reported changes.
      • Objective: Measurable updates on patient status, including interventions performed.
      • Assessment: Patient's progress toward goals and adherence to instructions.
      • Plan: Outline future interventions and patient activities.

    Basic Patient Handling and Protective Gear

    • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Essential for healthcare workers to prevent infectious material exposure.
      • Types include gloves, gowns, masks, goggles, and face shields.
      • Proper order for donning PPE: gown, mask/respirator, goggles/face shield, gloves.
      • Doffing PPE follows a specific method to minimize contamination.

    Patient Care Protocols

    • Prioritize safety and hygiene during patient interactions:
      • Conduct handwashing before and after patient treatment.
      • Verify patient information and understanding of treatment plans.
      • Document patient consent and encourage questions about their treatment.

    Vital Sign Assessment

    • Pulse Rate: Indicates heart rate and rhythm.
      • Tachycardia: >100 bpm; Bradycardia: <60 bpm.
    • Respiration: Normal rate of 12-20 breaths/min for adults; includes observing rhythm, depth, and effort.
      • Eupnea: normal; Tachypnea: rapid; Bradypnea: slow; Hyperventilation: deep breathing; Hypoventilation: shallow breathing.

    Important Notes on Patient Care

    • Assess respiratory changes as they may signal neurological, pulmonary, or cardiovascular issues.
    • Documentation is crucial for tracking patient status and intervention responses.
