Description

We start with a review of the structural anatomy of the hip and knee, plus all the muscles that wind from pelvis down to knee. Then we move on to examine which muscles are local and global and how to apply this information to movement patterns for hip and knee. We also review subjective and objective evaluations of all the compartments of the lower limb with primary focus on two main functions of sit to stand and gait. Finally, we dive into common conditions of the pelvis, hip and knee, as well as 11 specific movement impairment syndromes related to the pelvis and hips. Ultimately, the goal is to leave with a plan of action to restore movement, strength and function in the pelvic-hip-knee region of the body.

Learning objectives

• Gain a systematic and in-depth understanding of the lower limb
• Learn both methodical and creative ways to approach movement impairments in the pelvis, hip and knee
• Explore a variety of exercises that go beyond the Pilates repertoire, and push the envelope in terms of restoring optimal function and movement

This course is part of a series of post-rehab protocol courses for the spine, hip and knee and shoulder complex. The curriculum includes functional anatomy, assessment, critical reflection, and a step-by-step program design with innovative exercises using mat, small props and Pilates machines. The series is key for any teacher searching for new ways to observe movement patterns and offer targeted exercises. The three courses in the series can be taken individually or in any sequence.
