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.   A glance at this episode: •[1:45] Why the knee is the victim  •[2:57] Knee assessment •[5:08] Clinical pearl on knee mechanics •[7:03] How to assess the knee in 3D •[8:48] Assessing the knee with a body twist   Related links: Tough To Treat Website Erica's Course: Decoding the Complex Patient Susan's Pelvic Health Education Subscription Access the Transcript
