Post-Graduate Physiotherapists with a focus on Sports Physiotherapy will gain an overview of the anatomy of the knee joint. A detailed examination of the knee joint’s structure, including bones (femur, tibia, fibula, patella), ligaments (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL), muscles (quadriceps, hamstrings), and tendons. A biomechanical analysis of knee joint kinematics and kinetics during various sports activities. Emphasis on weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing mechanics. Functional implications demonstrating an understanding of common sports-related knee injuries and their biomechanical impacts, with a focus on injury prevention and rehabilitation strategies.
