The Course
Explore the anatomy, biomechanics, and neurovascular pathways of the hip, knee, ankle, and foot through clear explanations and hands-on style activities. You’ll tie it together with case-based problem solving.
By the end, you’ll make faster, more confident decisions in the clinic, choosing orthotics, or advising on return-to-sport.
What you will learn
I started this course by mapping out the absolute essentials—clear anatomy landmarks, postural muscles, and everyday clinical relevance—so you can build confidence from day one. Every lesson is short, focused, and sequenced to progress naturally from basics to application, As a beginner, you’ll appreciate the step-by-step structure, plain language, and checkpoints that highlight what really matters for real people. I crafted it carefully with skill demos, so you always know what to do next and why. The layout is crisp, the goals are explicit making your learning time efficient. By the end, you’ll not only recognize key structures and functions but also connect them to movement, common injuries, and simple assessments you can use right away.
Your instructor
I’m Dawn, and I teach the Lower Extremity course. My work centers on anatomy, biomechanics, and movement, and I love turning complex ideas about the hip, knee, ankle, and foot into clear, practical learning you can use. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and focused on giving you skills that translate beyond the classroom.
This course matters to me because understanding the lower limb transforms how we evaluate movement, prevent injury, and support performance in real life. I’m passionate about connecting evidence to practice, encouraging good questions, and building confidence in tools like gait observation, functional assessment, and thoughtful treatment planning.
