Introduction to the Program
You will update, thanks to this program, the techniques for the treatment of injuries in the elderly, with the objective of guaranteeing their quality of life and adequate recovery”

In the elderly stage, muscle and joint deterioration produces diseases and pathologies that make it impossible to perform activities such as walking, bending or stretching the arms. In addition, the elderly experience various injuries resulting from falls or involuntary actions that drastically reduce their mobility and, therefore, their quality of life. In this sense, Geriatric Physiotherapy is a non-pharmacological tool increasingly used to reduce the symptoms of numerous conditions related to the human body in the population over 65 years of age. For this reason, professionals in this discipline must be aware of the latest advances in this sector to provide their patients with those exercises and therapies that help alleviate the impact of aging.
For these reasons, TECH has created this Intership Program, which will allow the physiotherapist to spend 3 weeks in a prestigious clinical or rehabilitation center, attending real patients and adopting the most updated skills in Physiotherapy in Geriatrics. Fully integrated in a team made up of the best professionals in the field, the student will learn to assess and explore the patient, understanding the characteristics that go beyond the physical symptom, such as their social environment or their mood. Likewise, you will master novel treatments to address frailty problems or traumatic ailments in the elderly patient.
During this practical stay, the student will be accompanied at all times by a tutor specifically designated for them, who will be in charge of watching over them and will answer all their questions during this period. Therefore, this program will expand and adapt the competencies of the physiotherapist based on current needs, helping to improve their treatment with the patient and guaranteeing their professional growth in this sector.

After completing this practical course, you will be able to apply different frailty assessment scales to establish the appropriate treatment”
