Abstract

The need for continuous training in our current society in order to keep up to date knowledge, together with the low availability of hours and the low possibility of face-to-face of professionals, makes it very difficult to learn through university models of classroom teaching. Because of this, the Virtual Learning Environment presented in this paper is an innovative educational solution with which students will be trained with a high realism, accessibility and availability in techniques of spasticity treatment.
