The Shoulder: is the most flexible joint of the body providing us with a wide range of motion of the upper limb as well as generating power movements like throwing, lifting and carrying. Unfortunately this mobility comes at the expense of instability and high injury potential.

We outline some simple assessment techniques with accompanying online video footage, showing how each structure can be assessed and differentially diagnosed.

It includes an in-depth review of the anatomy of the knee and is accompanied by 11 videos demonstrating the various assessment techniques mentioned in the article and six animations from award-winning 3D anatomy specialists, Primal Pictures.

The Ankle: is the most commonly injured joint in the lower limb, the anterior talo-fibular ligament (the classic sprained ankle) is a relatively simple ligamentous injury but as the severity of inversion injury increases, the sub-talar joint and the mortice of the true ankle joint can be disrupted which can be as severe as any knee injury. We will consider the ankle, sub-talar joint and foot in this article. This online version includes a series of supporting videos and anatomy animations.
