Introduction to the Program
Incluye en tu capacidad de abordaje los avances más destacados en la atención y cuidado de pacientes con dolor desde la medicina rehabilitadora”
Conseguir o mantener una adecuada calidad de vida en los pacientes geriátricos pasa por conseguir un manejo del dolor que permita que las personas que lo padecen encuentren el bienestar que necesitan. La medicina rehabilitadora se configura en este sentido, como una vía de actuación de alto interés para conseguirlo.
Para ello, el profesional deberá valorar y explorar la resistencia y las reservas fisiológicas del paciente para establecer el marco de acción adecuada, la atención domiciliaria, en centros residenciales, en centro de día o centros sociales o clínicas privadas.
Este trabajo debe incluir los tratamientos en pre-fragilidad, fragilidad, dolencias que cursen con dolor, traumatológicas, neurológicas, con afectaciones respiratorias y/o afectaciones del suelo pélvico, que pueden cursar con síndromes gerontológicos o deterioro cognitivo, efectos secundarios de los fármacos y/o estados biopsicosociales que pueden acomplejar el cuadro clínico.
Por ello es fundamental conocer las herramientas de la fisioterapia y la conveniencia de su aplicación en cada caso, como el ejercicio activo, la terapia manual, la electroterapia siendo capaz de trabajar en equipo interdisciplinar, con herramientas de comunicación adecuadas, entender el concepto de atención centrada en la persona, disponer de la más actualizado conocimiento de dispositivos de soporte e, incluso, el soporte de la tecnología actual, pueden ser claves para el éxito en el tratamiento de fisioterapia. Así, el egresado podrá acceder a contenido exclusivo elaborado por un Director Invitado Internacional, con el que podrá ahondar en rehabilitación durante 10 Masterclasses.
