Golfers Elbow?
Medial epicondylitis
Condition that affects common wrist extensors (extensor carpi radialus longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor digitorum and digiti minimi)
Lateral epicondylitis
Condition that affects common flexors (pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, flexor digitorum sublimis, flexor carpi ulnaris)
Medial epicondylitis
Initial acute management of epicondylitis
Ice massage over affected area
rest, protection of area from unwanted stress to allow healing, splint or brace to increase tolerance of activities, avoid aggravated motions
What are considerations when beginning exercises for epicondylitis management
Perform all exercises w/n pain free motion, progress from pain-free ISOM - concentric and eccentric muscle contractions, light resistance when having these pts perform these exercises for first time and perform in slow controlled eccentric contraction
