We start with a review of the structural anatomy of the hip and knee, plus all the muscles that wind from pelvis down to knee. Then we move on to examine which muscles are local and global and how to apply this information to movement patterns for hip and knee. We also review subjective and objective evaluations of all the compartments of the lower limb with primary focus on two main functions of sit to stand and gait. Finally, we dive into common conditions of the pelvis, hip and knee, as well as 11 specific movement impairment syndromes related to the pelvis and hips. Ultimately, the goal is to leave with a plan of action to restore movement, strength and function in the pelvic-hip-knee region of the body.
