This, coupled with the public's awareness of the need for specialized professionals, is leading to an increase in the demand for physiotherapists who are able to understand how the nervous system works after an injury and how to get the most out of it to minimize the after-effects of the injury.

In addition, we are living a time of great advances in the field of Neuroscience, as well as Physiotherapy as a science, which compels to update students' knowledge both about the functioning of the nervous system, as well as how to evaluate and therapeutically approach a person with ABI, since each injury is different and will manifest itself in a different way in each patient.

This postgraduate diploma aims to be a compendium of the most up-to-date evidence and scientific knowledge of the nervous system and its rehabilitation when it is injured in a unexpected way. Thanks to this, it is presented as a program capable of providing specialist training to physiotherapists who have never dealt with people with ABI, but who are interested in steering their professional future towards this type of patient. 

Equally, professionals that are already neurological physiotherapists, whether or not they deal with ABI, will find the opportunity to update their knowledge and achieve a more advanced specialization in this type of patients.
In addition, by understanding so much information about Neuroscience and functionality, it can be a useful tool for the physiotherapist whose target patient is not specifically one suffering from an ABI or a neurological pathology, yet needs to know the ins and outs of the nervous system to better understand and address the injury or therapeutic need of the patient.

Postgraduate Diploma in Physiotherapeutic Approach to Acquired Brain Injury in Geriatrics

Acquired Brain Injury is an injury that affects the brain after birth and can have multiple causes, such as head trauma or stroke. In Geriatrics, it is very common due to the higher prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases in the elderly population. Patients suffering from it often present difficulties in mobility and in performing daily activities, which reduces their quality of life. To effectively address this problem, it is necessary to have physiotherapists highly trained in the management of this type of injury in the elderly. Therefore, this academic institution has created the Postgraduate Diploma in Physiotherapy Approach to Acquired Brain Injury in Geriatrics, an essential tool to improve your care for older patients with these conditions.
