Course Description

If you are a healthcare professional specializing in physiotherapy or a student aiming to deepen your understanding of knee assessments, the "Knee Assessment" course is an invaluable resource. Spanning 2 hours and 14 minutes, this comprehensive course is designed meticulously to cater to your educational needs within the realm of knee joint evaluation and therapy.

Belonging to the Health category and specifically focusing on Physiotherapy, this course offers a thorough walkthrough of various aspects of knee assessment. It begins with a full assessment run-through that sets the foundation for more detailed observation and clinical skills. You will gain insights into the intricate process of observing the knee joint in both static and dynamic states, enhancing your diagnostic capabilities significantly.

One of the essential components of the course is the detailed instruction on knee joint palpation. Here, you will learn to palpate various structures of the knee carefully, enabling you to detect abnormalities with precision. This hands-on skill is vital for anyone aiming to excel in physical examinations.

Moreover, the course offers comprehensive tutorials on both active and passive range of motion/movement testing. By mastering these techniques, you will be able to evaluate the mobility and functional capacity of the knee joint effectively. These tests are crucial in formulating targeted and effective treatment plans.

Resisted tests and functional tests of the knee joint are also a significant focus of this course. These segments equip you with the skills to assess muscle strength and functional performance, ensuring a well-rounded and comprehensive evaluation process.

In the advanced testing section, you will delve into various specific clinical tests for knee ligaments and meniscal injuries. These include the MCL and LCL stress tests, ACL anterior draw test, and Lachman's test for ACL rupture, among others. These specialized tests are crucial for identifying specific ligament injuries and determining the appropriate course of action.

Premium content such as Apley's test for meniscal injury and Clarke's test for patello-femoral pain provides even deeper insights into complex knee conditions. These advanced modules aim to elevate your diagnostic skills to the next level, ensuring you can handle intricate clinical scenarios with confidence.

Furthermore, the course addresses the PCL draw and sag tests to evaluate posterior cruciate ligament integrity, along with the McMurray's and Thessaly's tests for meniscal injuries. These additional tests round out your diagnostic toolkit, ensuring you can assess all possible knee-related conditions comprehensively.

Though this course does not yet have reviews, its depth and breadth of content make it a valuable investment for any physiotherapy professional or student. By enrolling, you will enhance your clinical assessment skills and be better prepared to deliver high-quality care to your patients.
