Course Description

The knee is an amazing structure. By providing the ability to bend and straighten our legs, the knee is what allows us to walk, run, sit, squat, kick, and shift direction. And yet, as simple as the knee may look, an internal study of its anatomy reveals a structure both elegant and complex.

In this 30-minute course, you'll learn about the structure and function of knee anatomy as well as anatomical positions and planes, medical terms, anatomical features, and kinematics as they relate to the knee. The course culminates in a 10-question assessment.
