Functional problems associated with the knee-Part two: Rehabilitation fundamentals for common knee conditions

摘要

The knee is a commonly painful or injured joint. Kinetic chain dysfunction is a common factor either causing or perpetuating such pain or injury (Risberg et al., 2001, 2004). Part one in this series discussed typical patterns of functional loss in knee patients. Biomechanical sparing strategies, stabilization training and functional exercises were also introduced. In this second part of the series the major distinguishing features of different common clinical conditions are presented along with the key rehabilitation goals.
