Best Practice Case Studies-Knee Dislocation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Tamar Brand Perez, a physical therapist at SFSU and UCSF, explains how key patient presentation elements guide treatment decisions. For rehab protocols requiring partial weight bearing, a scale helps patients learn specific weight percentages. Patients apply pressure on their injured leg until reaching the required percentage of their body weight—e.g., a 180-pound individual would apply 45 pounds for 25% weight bearing. This method trains patients to recognize the appropriate pressure during recovery.
