Course Description
It is not lost on you that it is common to treat individuals with common lower extremity conditions such as osteoarthritis (OA), femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), tendinopathies at the knee, ankle, and foot, but are you following a comprehensive, evidence-informed approach? The goal of this lab-based course is to review evidence-based evaluative and treatment techniques that can be utilized for those presenting with common conditions of the lower extremity.
Learners will learn how to differentiate the pain mechanisms involved with these conditions as well as determine if the lumbar spine is contributing to lower extremity symptoms. The course will focus on an evaluation and intervention approach grounded in a biopsychosocial and signs and symptoms reasoning model using manual therapy and exercise to empower people to reach their goals.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Differentiate different common musculoskeletal conditions of the lower extremity including hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA), femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)/hip labral pathology, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and gluteal, hamstring, Achilles, and posterior tibialis tendinopathies.
- Perform various evidence-informed evaluative techniques of the lumbopelvic and lower extremity region.
- Perform various evidence-informed manual therapy techniques targeting the lower extremity.
- Develop exercises that target strength and motor control performance.
- Discuss a reasoning framework for the dosage of manual therapy and exercise in people with lower extremity conditions.
