Patellofemoral Syndrome – 6 Hours

Description

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is the most frequent cause of knee pain in outpatient clinics. It occurs due to imbalances in the forces that control the patellar tracking while flexing and extending the knee, particularly when the joint is overloaded. This course is designed to help participants evaluate and classify PFPS into a treatment-based category. You will learn about the predisposing factors linked to PFPS, as well as the most up-to-date evaluation, treatment strategies, and exercises.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: 

• Understand the anatomy and kinesiology of the knee.
• Understand the new research that drives conservative care for patella femoral syndrome.
• Develop creative and innovative interventions for common knee problems.
• Apply functional scores and outcome measures of the knee.
• Consider two separate classification systems of patellofemoral syndrome.
• Review accepted treatment approaches to common knee problems.
• Identify key dysfunctions that will respond to Physical Therapy treatment plans.
• Learn useful manual therapy techniques that could improve pain and function in patients with knee problems.
• Identify patients who have been misdiagnosed with patellofemoral syndrome and provide the right treatment or appropriate referrals.
