Physiotherapists at the highest level must update their knowledge with training courses such as this one, where they will find the main novelties in the field"

The field of physical therapy seeks to promote the health and well-being of children by advising, treating and caring for those infants who have a general developmental problem or movement disorder, which may be caused by congenital or acquired disease. This field is also essential to prevent future ailments in infants who need a follow-up to ensure their proper development. Therefore, the postgraduate diploma focuses on building the skills needed by the professional to specialize in this field, learning to both address some of the most common pathologies in childhood and the adaptability of the different techniques and treatments in the field of Pediatric Orthopedics. 

This postgraduate diploma includes the specific education that will provide the Pediatric Rehabilitation professional (regardless of their basic specialization) with the necessary confidence to offer the patient the most appropriate physiotherapeutic solution. 

This program addresses the different pathologies that occur due to poor differentiation of the musculoskeletal tissue. Bone dysplasias are primary or intrinsic anomalies in the development of the human skeleton, generally of genetic basis. The main pathologies that form the heterogeneous group of bone dysplasias will be developed, as well as their most current classifications. 

The student will learn to differentiate bone dysplasias from congenital malformations, since in most of the latter cases, there is a primary intrauterine growth inhibition or secondary interruption by intrauterine destruction of normal embryonic tissues. Likewise, the student will develop the competences to be able to make a deep and early diagnosis and to guide the treatment in an adequate way in the main musculoskeletal injuries that appear in children. To achieve this, they will review the main bone and soft tissue injuries in children, focusing on their diagnosis and physiotherapeutic treatment. 

The syllabus of this complete program covers the main current units in Pediatric Orthopedics, so that whoever masters them will be prepared to work in this field in any hospital in the world.  

With this online training, students can organize their time and pace of learning, adapting it to their schedules, in addition to being able to access the contents from any computer or mobile device.
