no
clinical presentation of tennis elbow
pain on palpation, with resisted wrist extension, long finger ext
decreased grip
is ROM effected with tennis elbow
not usually
Clinical tests for tennis elbow
cozen
polk
mills
grip strength
T/f clinical presentation and one diagnostic test is needed to identify tennis elbow
false, clinical presentation and multiple diagnostic tests
outcome measures for tennis elbow
grip strength
VAS
Patient rated tennis elbow eval
UEFS
VAS measures
overall pain
Imaging for tennis elbow
arthroscopy is the gold standard
Exercise for tennis elbow
eccentrics - but unclear
Electromodals for tennis elbow
ultrasound

do joint mobes help tennis elbow
yes
mobes with movement and mills manip
does taping help with tennis elbow

inc strength and quality of life
frozen shoulder definiation

5 risk factors for frozen shoulder
female 40-60 adhesive capsulitis in contralateral arm diabetes mellitus thyroid disease
clinical features of frozen shoulder
global pain >1 month at rest or in motion
Gradual progressive loss
Impaired static and dynamic shoulder stability structures
Three phases of frozen shoulder
freezing phase (sharp pain at end range) frozen phase (loss of ROM due to pain) thawing phase (decreasing pain levels)
Diagnostics tests for frozen shoulder
AROM/PROM
joints/glides for restriction
ULNT
why ULNT
if shoulder pain goes up or down during this , its not frozen shoulder
T/F special tests help diagnose frozen shoulder
FALSE impingenment tests and MMT are inclusive
Outcome measures for frozen shoulder
DASH
SPADI
T/F simple shoulder test (SST) is good outcome measure for frozen shoulder
false
Treatment for freezing phase
corticosteroid injection
education
pain management
mobility/stretching
does deep breathing help frozen shoulder
