Course Description

This course will provide attendees with useful clinical information for the examination and treatment of patients with any knee problem. The course begins with topics pertaining to the overall examination and treatment principles that can be applied to patients with any type of knee pain or injury. The afternoon sessions are specific to management of patients with ACL injuries and multiple ligament injuries, patellofemoral instability, and osteoarthritis. We will discuss the importance of a goal-directed pre- and post-operative rehabilitation program for total knee arthroplasty as well as a program to help patients avoid or delay the need for a total knee replacement.

Course Objectives

• Identify the key components of knee symmetry and describe how they relate to knee function


• Interpret strength, range of motion, and stability testing measures and utilize these results to formulate an appropriate rehabilitation protocol/ return-to-sport progression

• Interpret examination and diagnostic imaging findings as they relate to patellofemoral instability


• Design a rehabilitation program to minimize pain and improve function in patients with osteoarthritis
