This training will generate a sense of confidence in the Physiotherapist’s professional practice, which will help them grow both personally and professionally”

In addition, we are living a time of great advances in the field of Neuroscience, as well as Physiotherapy as a science, which compels TECH to update students' knowledge both about the functioning of the nervous system, as well as how to evaluate and therapeutically approach a person with ABI, since each injury is different and will manifest itself in a different way in each patient.

This Professional master’s degree in Physiotherapy in the Approach to Acquired Brain Injury aims to be a compendium of the most up-to-date evidence and scientific knowledge of the nervous system and its rehabilitation when it is injured in a unexpected way. Thanks to this, it is presented as a Professional master’s degree capable of providing specialist training to physiotherapists who have never dealt with people with ABI, but who are interested in steering their professional future towards this type of patient. 

Equally, professionals that are already neurological physiotherapists, whether or not they deal with ABI, will find the opportunity to update their knowledge and achieve a more advanced specialization in this type of patients.

In addition, by understanding so much information about Neuroscience and functionality, it can be a useful tool for the physiotherapist whose target patient is not specifically one suffering from an ABI or a neurological pathology, yet needs to know the ins and outs of the nervous system to better understand and address the injury or therapeutic need of the patient.

In this Physiotherapy in the Approach to Acquired Brain Injury, TECH also covers ABI in the pediatric age group, as this is an even greater challenge for physiotherapists. This is due to the specific characteristics of the nervous system and the body according to the neurodevelopment that has already happened or will happen depending on the age at which the injury occurs.
