Postgraduate Diploma in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Knee and Leg Physiotherapy

The ultrasound is a tool widely used today by physiotherapists, because it allows them to assess the evolution of the patient with objective data and obtain greater efficiency in invasive treatments in the area. Given the constant scientific and technological advances, numerous ultrasound techniques have emerged to treat specific parts such as the lower extremities, therefore, if you want to train in this area, in TECH Global University you will find a course of Postgraduate Diploma in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Knee and Leg Physiotherapy. A high-level online postgraduate course, characterized by its avant-garde methodology related to the use, care and limits of ultrasound in physical therapy. During the six months of intensive training taught by the best teaching team, you will delve into the essential concepts that will allow you to become an expert in the field. With our study model, you will perform case studies that will contribute to reinforce your techniques and provide the best care to patients. Through master classes, you will study from the tendon and ligament structures of the knee, to the lower muscles and related pathologies, in order to perform high quality ultrasound-guided treatments. In addition, you will delve into sciatic nerve exploration and echoanatomy of the leg structures in all its compartments.

Study an online postgraduate course on musculoskeletal ultrasound in physical therapy

By developing this program in virtual mode, you can combine the study modules with other personal or work activities. Through the syllabus, you'll take a comprehensive look at the sonoanatomy of the knee and leg, common ligament pathologies and piezoelectric effects, with the goal of recognizing the main injuries of the region. Next, you will study the lower limbs, the lumbo-pelvic region and the RUSI technique (assessment of the morphology and functionality of the musculoskeletal tissue). Finally, you will approach from the principles of the ultrasound scanner, its components and care measures, to the types of images and the ultrasound patterns produced (tissue patterns). Because of this, you will be able to perform dynamic assessment tests and apply evolutionary follow-ups in ultrasound-guided treatments. At the end of the program, you will obtain the necessary knowledge to perform successfully in the area, this will contribute to improve your professional profile and increase your employability opportunities.
