Internship Program in Physiotherapy in the Approach to Acquired Brain Injury

An injury to the encephalic structures represents one of the greatest challenges for health personnel, since, its incidence not only falls on cognitive or behavioral functions, but also extends to the sensory-motor part of the patient, affecting the elementary functions of his body. Because of this, interdisciplinary branches such as neurophysiotherapy have emerged, in charge of improving motor, balance and posture functions. To carry out an adequate therapeutic intervention in this field, it is necessary that professionals handle specific skills and abilities. With this in mind, TECH Global University developed an Internship Program in Physiotherapy in the Approach to Acquired Brain Injury, focused on the therapeutic process of neurological rehabilitation. In the curriculum, you will find fundamental topics such as the structural and functional anatomical bases of the nervous system, the neurophysiological processes of motor learning and the assessment and approach of the patient with ACBD in altered states of consciousness. All this, you will learn in a prestigious clinical center, during three consecutive weeks, divided into eight-hour days from Monday to Friday.

Through a rigorous syllabus, proposed by the best TECH specialists, we will instruct you in aspects such as neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, the epidemiology of ACD, its implications according to the age of the patient and the various symptoms or syndromes in the area of affectation. You will also learn about the physiology of the motor system, support products in the treatment of ACD, therapeutic approaches and the use of radiological tests such as CT and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). From the knowledge obtained, you will be able to plan differential approaches, based on neurological findings related to the physiology of movement and motor control. In addition, you will be able to plan risk prevention guidelines and design therapies that restore body functions.
