Summary

Join this on-demand teaching session by Srijan Curpad, a 4th year medical student with an interest in Trauma, Orthopaedics and Neurology. This Lower Limb Tutorial dives deep into the bones, articulations, muscles and innervation of the lower limb. Learn about common afflictions of the lower limb area and how to identify and understand them. Each major joint - the hip, the knee, and the ankle - are discussed, along with various muscles from the thigh and leg. Ideal for medical professionals, this session also includes information on the arterial and venous supply, lymphatic supply, dermatomes and myotomes. Highly detailed and engaging, this tutorial will extend your understanding of the human lower limb.

Learning objectives

1. By the end of this tutorial, learners will have a comprehensive understanding of the bones and articulations of the lower limb and will be able to identify related common injuries. 2. Learners will gain knowledge on the muscles connected to the lower limbs, including their functions and locations. 3. The participants will be able to explain the innervation of lower limbs with a understanding on the functions and routes of different nerves. 4. The attendees will be familiar with the arterial and venous supply of the lower limbs, and will be able to map the route of major arteries and veins. 5. Learners will understand the lymphatic supply of the lower limbs and be aware of the location and function of the associated lymph nodes.
