elbow joint Flashcards
the elbow anatomy consist of
humeroulnar
humeroradial
proximal radioulnar
what serves as a proprioception of the joint
joint capsules
what is the carrying angle and what is the carrying angle for men and women
the distal humerus medial angle
men..5
women is 10-15
the static stabilizators of the elbow
primary medial stabilizator
primary lateral stabilizator
annular ligament ….it supports the radial head
interserouss membrane… prevents the ulna and radius from separating
what are the dynamic stabilazators of the elbow
biceps triceps brachialis r brachoradialis anconeus
what are the degree for functional movemnt of the movements
30 perc limitation of extension
130 perc flexion and 50 perc supination
50 perc supination and pronation
when clinicly evaluating the cervical region what should we look out for
radiculopathy
most affected muscle in tennis elbow is
extensor carpi radialis brevis
but extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis are also affected
best electrotherapy and exercises given to someone with lateral epicondilities
ultra sound with resistive exercises
eccentric exercises
manual therapy approach for tennis elbow
cyriax
myofascial release
mobilization with movement
kinesiotaping
next is to strengthen the whole arm
flexion and supination of the wrist to prevent stress for the lateral epicondyle then extension and pronation also theraband can be used stabilization with a ball weight crawling passive stretches
next phase after whole arm strengthning is
return to activity phase
this involves strengthning exercise or specific activity streghtning
also grip strengthening is imp
what happens in the ligamentous injuries
fall happening on your elbow
the forearm is supinated with a hyper extension
first the lateral then medial structures are affected
the dislocation is mostly in the posterior side
medial collateral ligament
they are the valgus stabilizers of the elbow
the stabilizer muscles in the mcl
flexor carpi ulnaris amd flexor digitorium superficilais
