Classical Electrotherapy techniques analyzed and developed in a modern way to offer the professional their maximum usefulness in the application" 

The use of electromagnetic fields as a therapeutic tool has been used since ancient times, but it is since the end of the last century when it has experienced a great advance. This went hand in hand with a growing knowledge of the physiology of the human being, which facilitated the design and development of different types of treatments based on the application of electromagnetic fields. 

The field of application of electrotherapy is very wide, so it is necessary to have an extensive knowledge of both the physiological functioning of the subject and the most appropriate agent in each case. This knowledge ranges from muscle contraction mechanisms to somatosensory transmission mechanisms, which makes it essential for the rehabilitation physician to know both the pathophysiological mechanisms of the subject and the physicochemical basis of electrotherapy. 

The objective of the Postgraduate Diploma in Classic Electrotherapy is to present in an updated way the applications of electrotherapy in neuromusculoskeletal pathologies, always based on scientific evidence when selecting the most appropriate type of current in each case. To this end, the neurophysiological bases are always presented at the beginning of each module, so that learning is complete.  Each module is supported by practical applications of each type of current, so that the integration of the knowledge of the pathology and its treatment is complete. 

Acquire the necessary knowledge in the neurophysiological bases that justify the operation of electrotherapy and act with the most accurate vision in this field" 

This postgraduate diploma in Classic Electrotherapy, contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the program include: 

• More than 75 practical cases presented by experts in electrotherapy 
• The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional 
• New developments on the role of the rehabilitation physician in the application of electrotherapy 
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning 
• Algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the situations that are presented to the student 
• Its special emphasis on research methodologies on electrotherapy applied to Rehabilitation Medicine 
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments 
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 

The postgraduate diploma works on simulated environments and cases providing an integrated vision that allows to act with competence in real situations" 

The teaching staff includes professionals from the field of medicine, who bring their experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities. 

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations. 

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year. For this, the professional will have the help of an innovative interactive video system made by recognized experts in Electrotherapy in Rehabilitation Medicine, with great experience. 

A practical approach that will allow you to work with classical techniques in an effective and safe way"
