Evidence-Based Treatment of the Knee and Thigh: An Update

Video Runtime: 74 Minutes, Learning Assessments: 27 Minutes

In the course, learners will experience the recommended evidence-based interventions for the knee and thigh. Users will recognize the more prevalent knee and thigh pathologies seen in musculoskeletal practice and understand the proposed benefit to classifying knee and thigh conditions through use of the Pain and Disability Drivers model. Techniques used to target the primary impairment are explained, as well as the adjunctive techniques used to target the primary impairment and secondary contributors, and the techniques used to target global conditional issues. Learners will analyze the effectiveness of each technique for treatment within the classifications. Throughout the course, current research is presented to provide learners with the proper tools for evidence-based management of these patients. This course is part of a comprehensive clinical series covering examination and intervention for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, as well as the upper (shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand) and lower (hip, pelvis, knee/thigh, foot, and ankle) quarters.
