Anterior Knee Pain: Assessment and Management Approaches

Description

This webinar provides relevant content for a broad range of disciplines, specifically Physical Therapy, Athletic Training, and Strength and Conditioning.

Anterior knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints of the knee in active individuals, often resulting from overuse conditions such as patellofemoral joint dysfunction and patellar tendinopathy. This course provides clinicians with a comprehensive framework for understanding the anatomical, biomechanical, and psychological factors contributing to anterior knee pain. It offers guidance on assessment and evidence-informed management strategies. Using current clinical practice guidelines and impairment-based classification systems, this course equips physical therapists and rehabilitation professionals with the tools to individualize treatment plans and improve patient outcomes across a variety of settings, including orthopedic, sports medicine, and primary care environments.
