Show Notes
Understanding the functional anatomy of the knee in barbell training is an important aspect of biomechanics that powerlifters, physical therapists, chiropractors, strength coaches, and doctors should understand.
When you understand how the knee joint is structured and functions you'll have a better understanding of why certain ways of performing the squat and deadlift are more optimal than others. This will also help you understand the normal forces on the knee joint and how we can combine our knowledge of powerlifting programming and barbell movement mechanics to maintain healthy, pain free movements despite atypical structure and joint degeneration.
In this episode of the PRS Podcast, PRS Clinical Coaches, Drs. Rori Alter, Alyssa Haveson, and John Petrizzo discuss the role of the knee joint and its surrounding structures in the mechanics of barbell training.
This episode is an educational experience for barbell trainees, powerlifters, Crossfitters, weightlifters, and other strength lifters to deep dive into the knee joint.
If you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, medical doctor, strength coach, or student clinician, this episode is a great review and application tutorial regarding the knee and barbell training.
In this episode we discuss the:
- Joints that make up the knee
- Normal movement of the knee joint
- Internal structures and surfaces of the knee
- Musculature responsible for knee flexion and extension
- How the hip affects the knee
- Patellofemoral movement
- ITB pain
