Best Practice Case Studies-Case 138 Asset 1 Pes Anserine Bursitis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript explains how excessive knee varus or valgus can increase compression or friction around the bursae and pes anserine area, potentially causing irritation. It emphasizes assessing whether alignment issues are postural or structural. A postural varus/valgus pattern may improve when the hips, knees, and ankles are placed in neutral, while structural alignment remains even after correction. Evaluating this helps determine whether cues or exercises can reduce stress on the knee and address instability, muscle co-contraction, and abnormal loading.
