Mike Reinold – Evaluation and Treatment of the Knee

Mike Reinold – Evaluation and Treatment of the Knee gives clinicians a clear, evidence-informed framework to examine and treat knee injuries with confidence. You’ll connect clinical reasoning with practical progressions so every evaluation leads to a targeted plan, better exercise selection, and cleaner return-to-sport decisions.

What is the “Mike Reinold – Evaluation and Treatment of the Knee” course?

It is an online education program created by Mike Reinold and Lenny Macrina focused on the clinical examination and rehabilitation of the knee. The curriculum organizes best practices—assessment, treatment progressions, and case-based reasoning—so you can apply them directly with patients in the clinic or on the field.

What will you learn?

• Build a comprehensive knee evaluation: history, movement observation, special tests, and functional assessments.
• Translate findings into a progressive rehab plan that balances load, mobility, neuromuscular control, and strength.
• Refine decision-making for common pathologies (e.g., ACL, patellofemoral pain, meniscal injury, cartilage and OA).
• Apply dynamic stabilization concepts and exercise progressions that scale from early rehab to return to sport.
• Use simple templates to document, progress, and communicate care plans with athletes, coaches, and teams.

Who is it for?

Physical therapists, athletic trainers, strength & conditioning coaches, rehab specialists, and students who want a structured, up-to-date approach to knee assessment and rehabilitation—useful in outpatient orthopedics, sports settings, and performance environments.

How does it work?

The program is delivered online and can be started at any time. Training is organized into modules that guide you through the full spectrum of evaluation and treatment, allowing flexible, self-paced learning integrated with clinical practice.

Benefits

• Clarity at eval: reduce guesswork with a step-by-step assessment flow for faster, more accurate decisions.
• Stronger plans: link impairments to interventions using progressive stabilization and load management.
• Sport transfer: progress patients toward performance with criteria-based milestones and communication.
• Practical resources: evidence highlights and frameworks you can use immediately with patients.

Prerequisites

No formal prerequisites. Professional training in rehab, sports medicine, or strength & conditioning is recommended to apply course concepts responsibly. Educational content only—outcomes vary and are not guaranteed.
