Capsular pattern for proximal RU joint
Supination > pronation
Pain with active contraction of muscle/tendon,
passive stretch to muscle/tendon,
Resist to muscle/tendon
Tendinopathy
Tennis elbow
Lateral epicondylitis
Overuse injury- repetitive wrist extension and gripping
Latera epicondy
Inflammatory, - patho changes, can resolve
Stage 1 of repetitive microtrauma (Nirschl)
Patho changes —> fibroblasts and neovascularization tendon degeneration
Stage 2 repetitive microtrauma for lateral epicondylitis
Tendinosis, collagen disorientation/disorganization
Stage 3 repeat microtrauma for lat epicondylitis
Stage 3 changes and calcification
Stage 4 of repeat microtrauma of lat epicondylitis
\+ pain with wrist ext Possible + pain with middle finger ext (+) mills and cozens Pain with palpation Possible swelling
Symptoms of lateral epicondylitis
Lateral elbow pain
Stiff and achy
Increased pain with grasping, writing, combined wrist ext/grip, lifting up objects palm down or thumb up
Dropping things
Signs of lateral epicondylitis
What kind of strengthening for wrist extensors do you want to do for lat epicond?
Eccentric first —> passively extend wrist then control lowering into flexion
Golfers elbow
Medial epicondylitis
common flexor tendon origin for medial epicondylitis
FCR, FCU, FDS
Palmaris longus
Humeral head of pronator teres
Golfers elbow happens how?
Overuse injury
Rupture at radial tuberosity or MT junction
Biceps tendon rupture
Muscular male
Middle aged
50s
Biceps tendon rupture
Intervention for distal biceps tendon tear
Usually surgery
