Objectives

We strive to bring participants to a level whereby they can:

Explain pathoanatomy, physiology, and biomechanics of the specific joint complex being studied.

Conduct a concise clinical examination and determine a precise diagnosis.

Perform effective local treatment of soft tissue lesions through an accurate understanding of surface anatomy and tissue physiology.

Restore normal mobility of the joint by means of specific treatment techniques based on up-to-date arthrokinematic studies.

Establish an effective exercise program based on affliction-specific considerations

How can I differentiate between patella-femoral pain syndrome and a lesion of the anterior horn of the meniscus?
How can I restore the gliding motion of the meniscus with manual therapy to decrease pain and restore full range of motion?
How Do I determine if my patient has a rotatory instability of the knee?
Why don't all my patients with hamstring tendonopathy get better?
What is the latest research have to say regarding rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction?
