About
Duration: 1 hour | CEU Points awarded: 1 General (CEUs), Level 1, Accreditation Number: PPB007/2025/06/002 This one-hour CPD course provides post-graduate physiotherapists—particularly those with an interest in sports physiotherapy—with a detailed exploration of the anatomy and biomechanics of the knee joint. You'll revisit key structural components including the femur, tibia, fibula, patella, ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL, quadriceps, hamstrings, and tendons, with an emphasis on how these interact to support function during athletic movement. The course examines both kinematics (joint motion) and kinetics (forces acting on the joint), helping clinicians understand how the knee behaves during weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing activities. Through a functional lens, the session highlights the biomechanical implications of common sports-related knee injuries, such as ligament sprains and tendon overload syndromes. Equipping you with the anatomical and mechanical insight to make informed assessments and clinical decisions, this course also outlines strategies for injury prevention and targeted rehabilitation. It’s ideal for physiotherapists seeking to sharpen their understanding of knee mechanics in sport. In this course you will learn: To identify and describe the anatomy of the knee joint, including bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons The kinematics and kinetics of the knee during weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing activity How joint structure and biomechanics influence performance and injury in sport To recognize biomechanical patterns behind common knee injuries Evidence-based strategies for injury prevention and rehabilitation.
