Description
This one-day course is designed to immediately evolve your practice. It is approximately 50% practical and all underpinned by basic science, clinical reasoning and evidence. Claire also presents much of her own published work, including work on quadriceps architecture and crepitus.
The day covers assessment of structural, contractile and movement components but also considers psychosocial elements such as fear-avoidance and kinesiophobia.
Taping and bracing will be discussed, and effective exercise strategies explored. The role of education and top tips for patient explanations are given.
Study goals
By the end of the course the student should:
- Be able to describe the likely aetiology and what may masquerade as Patellofemoral pain.
- Pursue a reasoned subjective examination to then plan out a bespoke objective examination.
- Be confident to assess a patient with PFP for dysplastic features and plan rehabilitation accordingly.
- Confidently apply observation & palpation skills on the plinth and in weight-bearing to commence reasoning of patellofemoral pain treatment.
- Apply a pragmatic assessment of proximal contractile musculature of the lower limb and plan out a reasoned, effective exercise plan.
- Explain likely architecture changes with the quadriceps with PFP and innovative way to strengthen.
- Explain the role of the foot/ankle in PFP.
- Describe the contributing factors of the biopsychosocial model and how they can be assessed.
