The Postgraduate diploma in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Shoulder and Elbow Physiotherapy will allow you to master the new techniques of exploration of lesions in the anterior, lateral and posterior aspect of this muscle and this joint”

The diagnostic procedures used to detect pathologies that cause injuries in different areas of the shoulders and elbows have evolved considerably in recent years thanks to scientific advances. In this line, the use of ultrasound scanners is gradually becoming popular, which, with only a probe that sends images to a cell phone or tablet, provides accurate tests at a reduced economic and technical cost. These continuous innovations in the field of musculoskeletal ultrasound force physiotherapists to be constantly updating their knowledge in order not to fall behind and, consequently, to be able to offer the best care to their patients.

Faced with this situation, TECH has developed this Postgraduate diploma, a program that will enable the professional physiotherapist to know the most advanced diagnostic methods to detect the pathologies of the shoulder and elbow by musculoskeletal ultrasound, as well as the techniques to subsequently undertake a therapy tailored to the injury of each patient. During this academic period, you will master the most avant-garde exploration of the anterior, lateral and posterior structures of the shoulder and elbow, or acquire the skills required to treat the different pathologies of these areas. In addition, you will develop modern tests oriented to analyze the flexibility of this muscle and this joint after an injury.

All this, through a 100% online methodology that will enable the student to combine excellent learning with their own personal and working life. In the same way, you will have first class teaching materials, developed by specialists in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and physiotherapists, whose contents are applicable in the professional environment.
