Through this program, you will use up-to-date scanning techniques that allow you to efficiently diagnose the extent of an ankle sprain or tendinopathy”

The ankle is one of the joints most affected by sports practice, whose injuries are present daily in rehabilitation centers or clinics. In this sense, ultrasound is the diagnostic test par excellence to observe the extent of these pathologies, since it offers a more accurate and safer detection than that obtained by other methods. This allows, in turn, to establish a treatment that is adapted to the type of ailment suffered by the patient and to the particular characteristics of the same, so that physiotherapists specialized in the use of ultrasound devices for ankle injuries are in great demand in the health area. 

Given this circumstance, TECH has designed this program, through which the student will adopt the best mechanisms to detect and subsequently treat the various pathologies that occur in the different parts of this joint and thus provide high-level care to their patients. During 6 weeks of intensive learning, you will assimilate the most up-to-date examination techniques for deltoid or lateral ligament sprains and you will delve into the imaging follow-up of Achilles tendinopathy. You will also expand your skills in the use of dynamic ankle tests to measure joint flexibility.

Thanks to the 100% online methodology in which this program is developed, the student will have the possibility to develop their own study schedules to achieve an efficient teaching. Likewise, this program is taught by excellent professionals in the field of Medicine and Physiotherapy, who will provide the most updated didactic contents in the field of ankle ultrasound.
