IS YOUR OR YOUR PATIENT’S KNEE CRACKING??? THEN YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!

We have learned from Robertson et al. (2017) that knee crepitations can lead to worrying, anxiety and eventually to fear-avoiding behaviour. Research shows that most health professionals don’t properly assess or ignore their patient’s questions about it, which can send them into a negative downward spiral!

Therefore, it’s important that we as health professionals are able to re-assure our patients and to properly explain our patients the meaning of their knee crepitus!
Ideally, just show them this video!!!
