Course Description:

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.
