INDEPENDENT STUDY Knee Prаcticаl Prаctice Cases Student: ______________________________ Date: ________________ Directiоns: Perfоrm the assigned skills оn a partner or standardized patient. Explain setup, landmarks, stabilization, technique, and interpretation. Then write measurable goals and choose two interventions that address the identified impairments. CASE 1 – MEDIAL KNEE PAIN WITH FUNCTIONAL DECLINE Older adult with progressive mobility limitations Patient Case Patient: Linda M., 67 years oldHistory: Linda reports a 9-month history of gradually worsening right knee pain without a specific injury. Pain is primarily medial and anterior and is worse with prolonged walking, sit-to-stand from low chairs, descending stairs, and standing after sitting for more than 30 minutes. She reports 10–15 minutes of morning stiffness and occasional swelling by the end of the day. She now uses the railing and a step-to pattern on stairs. Pain: 2/10 at rest; up to 6/10 with activity. Primary goal: Return to walking 1 mile in the neighborhood and negotiate stairs with less pain. Clinical Reasoning Which examination finding would you expect to contribute most to difficulty with terminal stance during gait? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Which findings could contribute to difficulty descending stairs? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ How could quadriceps weakness and limited knee extension affect sit-to-stand performance? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Goals Write three measurable goals. Include at least one impairment-based goal and one functional goal. Goal 1: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Goal 2: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Goal 3: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Interventions Select two interventions. Include dosage and explain how each intervention addresses an identified impairment.
