Introduction

Nowadays technologies are very useful, even sometimes you think that without technologies you couldn’t live. They are useful in different aspects like sports, medicine, music, art, engineering, etc. The problem with technological instruments is that people become lazier for example the remote control, but I have to say that I couldn’t watch TV with it. With technologies you can get parameters more accurate and with this you will give a good diagnosis. In Physical Therapy the main technologies is internet, but this one is totally useful in all aspects, so other more specific to physical therapy is goniometer and the last one could be microscope.

Internet
This tool like I said before is useful in all aspects, because when you have a doubt you can surf in the internet and the find the answer, instead of to look for in a book, because this could be longer and make your work inefficient. I’m going to tell you my own experience with the famous internet. When I have had to do a work, report or analysis, I looked for information in the internet. In general this is a good way to do it, but sometimes you have to be careful, because not everything that goes online is true.

Goniometer
For physical therapists, this technological instrument is very useful, because this can give us information about the joint of the patient. The goniometer can help us to know range of motion of some joint and with this information we can decide which treatment we can do or how we can do it. We can infer if there is any pathology with the result if they are out of the normal parameters.

Microscope
To science this instrument is indispensable, because most if the advances have been done with one. Of course more technological than we used in the university, because we are beginning in this area, so we have to learn how to use it first o simply to know the basics.

Conclusions
In conclusion I think that without technology, we couldn’t do things with great precision, and take us to a mistake in our treatment to the patient. We can’t forget that the technologies are a “tool”, something that helps us to do best our job, but we musn’t thin that technologies “do” our job. We can not allow that the develop of our mind stops because of the technologies. So we have to receive the help of the instruments and the most important use our mind.
