Orthopedic
Rehabilitation of the Knee
COURSE
DESCRIPTION
This two-day seminar is designed
in an attempt to bridge the gap between scientific
research and clinical practice.
The concepts and principles presented will
emphasize current and innovative approaches to the
evaluation and treatment of orthopedic knee pathology.
Teaching methods will include lecture (60%),
video, workshop demonstration, and lab practice (40%).
The focus of the seminar is on immediate clinical
application of evidence-based practice in a limited access environment.
COURSE
OBJECTIVES
Following completion of the
program the participant will be able to:
-
recognize and describe the
functional anatomy of the knee
-
explain the kinetic chain function
of the dynamic mobilizers and static stabilizers
that control the knee.
-
conduct an
evidence-based, comprehensive orthopedic
knee examination
-
recognize the common signs/symptoms
