Q

Medial epicondylitis is known as:

A

Golfer’s or Thrower’s elbow

27
Q

Lateral epicondylitis

A

-Inflammation of the insertion of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) and extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL)

28
Q

Symptoms of L. epicondylitis

A

Lateral elbow pain with insidious onset, pain with wrist extension, weakened grip strength

29
Q

Stage 1 - L. Epicondylitis

A

Inflammation w/o alteration in the tendons

30
Q

Stage 2

A

Associated with pathological changes in the tendon or angiofibroblastic degeneration

31
Q

Stage 3

A

Pathological changes in the tendon and partial rupture

32
Q

Stage 4

A

Characteristics of the stage 2 and 3 plus fibrosis, soft matrix calcifications, and faint calcifications along the epicondylar margins

33
Q

Chair test is used for:

A

L. epicondylitis

Lift chair with pronated hand
