Líneas de Investigación
Fisioterapia Invasiva: tiene como objetivo el análisis de la efectividad clínica y el coste-efectividad de diferentes técnicas de fisioterapia invasiva como la punción seca, la electrolisis percutánea o la neuromodulación percutánea en el tratamiento del dolor musculoesquelético y otras alteraciones del sistema nervioso central.
Fisioterapia Personalizada: tiene como objetivo la implementación de las nuevas tecnologías en Fisioterapia con el objetivo de personalizar los diagnósticos y tratamientos en Fisioterapia.
Tele-rehabilitación: tiene como objetivo hacer llegar la rehabilitación en diferentes campos a un mayor número de personas y a un coste más reducido, con el fin de poder dar solución sobre todo a poblaciones con limitaciones o que viven en áreas rurales y/o afrontar el reto de los tratamientos crónicos por los sistemas de salud.
Esta línea incluye la educación en salud y la promoción de hábitos de vida saludables como parte integral del tratamiento de rehabilitación.
