A Therapist's Guide to Differential Diagnosis of Knee Pain

Course overview

Therapy is no longer limited to the musculoskeletal system. With the introduction of direct access and privately owned clinics and telehealth, therapists play an important role in screening other systems to refer patients to appropriate medical providers. The focus of this course is to be able to differentiate between exclusive musculoskeletal origin or pain secondary to other systemic causes, identify red flags, recognize referral criteria, perform special tests, and stay updated with the latest clinical practice guidelines of knee pain. This aids in providing effective and timely treatment to the patient, thus saving time and resources and providing optimal patient care.
