Weekend Six - The Hip and Knee

Each day of this weekend represents a ‘stand-alone’ course”

Day 1: The Hip - This day covers the assessment and management of hip pain. It includes screening for ‘Red Flag’ pathology, radiological imaging for the hip and identification of dysplastic hips (including FAI & CAM lesions). Current understandings on pathologies such as labral tears, greater trochanteric pain, ‘piriformis’ syndrome and osteochondral lesion. The ‘state of the art’ regarding diagnostic tests for hip pathologies are presented

Day 2: The Knee - This day covers the assessment and management for disorders of the knee. Theoretical concepts regarding the biomechanics and functional anatomy of the knee will be covered, along with discussion of the relevance to the entire lower limb kinetic chain. Current evidence-based guidelines for the clinical management of knee disorders will be covered. This day also covers practical skills regarding assessment and treatment for the knee.
