Assessing The Knee Differently
from Tough to Treat · host Susan Clinton, PT & Erica Meloe, PT
In this "shortie" episode Erica discusses different ways she assesses the knee. There are 3 parts to the knee joint and assessing a movement pattern that takes into account all these regions is key. It's not all about patellar tracking, right? More often than not, one part of the knee is being compressed because of some overactivity in the muscles surrounding it. The main takeaway is that evaluating these regions takes precision and it's worth it to spend a few extra minutes doing so. Your patients will appreciate the specificity.
