Description

An innovative and comprehensive qualification thanks to which you will be able to perfect your skills in the use of electrotherapy on patients with various neurological deficits"

The consequences of, for example, spinal cord injury have serious effects on the physical health of the patient. It is a condition that, like its counterparts, causes disability and atrophy, interfering with the ability to move, limiting muscle mass and promoting the development of associated comorbidities such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Despite the fact that, until relatively recently, this type of pathologies could not be treated due to the lack of knowledge in the neurological area, the truth is that the countless investigations that have been carried out in this regard have allowed the development of increasingly effective physiotherapeutic guidelines, as is the case of Electrotherapy.  

For this reason, and in order that professionals in this field can learn in detail about its novelties, TECH, together with a team versed in Neurorehabilitation has developed a comprehensive program with which they can learn in detail the developments related to this technique in the high frequency modality, with special emphasis on the physical fundamentals involved in it, its effects, its contraindications and the possibilities of its application in the current clinical context. In addition, the program focuses on electrostimulation as an innovative strategy for muscle strengthening, taking as a reference the anatomy and currents to be applied in each part of the body. Finally, the graduates will be able to update their knowledge in non-invasive brain stimulation, allowing them to implement the most effective protocols in their physiotherapeutic practice, depending on the patient's characteristics. 

This way, in only 6 months of 100% online academic experience, you will have the opportunity to work intensively on updating your knowledge through a multidisciplinary syllabus designed by professionals versed in Neurological Electrotherapy. In addition, you will have real clinical cases and diverse additional material to delve in a personalized way in the different sections of the content. This will provide you with a tailor-made academic experience with which you will be able to perfect your professional skills in only 475 hours.

You will have access to 475 hours of diverse content: From the best syllabus to real clinical cases and multidisciplinary additional material of the highest quality”

This postgraduate diploma in Application of Electrotherapy in the Neurological Patient contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. Its most notable features are:

  • The development of practical cases presented by experts in Physiotherapy and Electrotherapy
  • The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
  • Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
