open chain kinematics at elbow are blank on blank
concave on convex
close chain kinematics at elbow are blank on blank
concave, convex
aka tennis elbow
lateral epicondylitis
males and females are blank prone to lateral epicondylitis
equally
lateral epicondylitis is most commonly seen in blank decade
4th
lateral epicondylitis is uncommon before this age
20
75% of cases are blank with respect to dominant hand
ipisilateral
the moi of lateral epicondylitis is blank
questionable
degeneration, sprains, inflammation, and tendonitis can all contribute to the cause of blank
lateral epicondylitis
lat epicondylitis may have pain radiate down blank
forearm
surgery is only used when pt conservative treatment is ineffective for how long
a year
blank manipulation can help lat epicondylitis
cervical
repetitive or heavy motion with elbow flexion or supination can cause blank
bicipital tendonitis
loss of 30-40% strength if there is a blank of the biceps tendon
rupture
most common age range for lateral epicondylitis
40-50
x rays are usually negative for lateral epicondylitis but over time they can reveal blank of blank muscle at origin
calcification, extensor
there is no blank treatment for conservative pt of lateral epicondylitis
long term
less common epicondylitis
medial (golfers)
golfers epicondylitis has pain aggravated by resisted blank
wrist flexion
blank and blank are painful from biceps strain
flexion/supination
blank may be present during biceps strain
hematoma
partial biceps tendon tear would have blank at insertion
palpable tendon
