Thanks to this qualification, you will master the latest techniques for examining the dorsal and palmar aspects of the wrist and hand”

Injuries to the hand and wrist are particularly challenging to treat, as they often cause long-term discomfort and limit a person's range of motion. Consequently, existing ultrasound techniques for diagnosing these injuries have experienced significant development, facilitating more precise detection of the pathology and its detailed monitoring over time to tailor physiotherapeutic activities to its progression. Thanks to the significant positive impact of these cutting-edge methods on the patient, physiotherapists are required to be proficient in using them to provide a high-quality service to their clients.

For that reason, TECH has designed this program, through which physiotherapy professionals will assimilate the most up-to-date techniques to master musculoskeletal ultrasound in the wrists and hands, enabling them to confidently tackle the daily challenges of their profession. During this academic period, they will delve into the examination of the most common tendon pathologies of both the dorsal and palmar aspects of the wrist and hand.  Additionally, they will enhance their skills in conducting tests to evaluate wrist stability following an injury.

All of this is done following a 100% online methodology, allowing students to create their own study schedules for a highly efficient learning experience. Likewise, they will have access to didactic materials available in a wide range of textual and multimedia formats, promoting engaging learning tailored to their academic needs.
