APTEI: Lower Extremity (2-day)

Upon completion of this 2-day course, the physical therapist will be confident in applying evidence-based clinical assessment skills for the diagnosis and classification of individuals presenting with various common acute, sub-acute or persistent lower extremity pain syndromes.

(E.g. Hip & knee OA, PFPS, acetabular impingement, plantar heel pain, etc.)

Physical Therapists will also be able to confidently identify several potential contributing factors to persistent pain and dysfunction at the hip, knee, foot and ankle complex.

Upon determining the diagnosis, classification and the potential contributing factors, physical therapists will be able to administer the most effective treatment / management options including specific exercise / movement prescription, manual therapies and taping.
