The elbow is the joint between the humerus and the bones of the forearm, the tibia and ulna. It consists of three joints which are located within a common joint cavity. It allows flexion of the forearm in relation to the elbow and pronation or supination of the forearm, i.e. movement of the anterior surface of the forearm dorsally and backwards.
Medial epicondylitis is an inflammation of the tendons through which the flexor muscles of the forearm attach to the bone
Pain on the medial side of the elbow that worsens with activity, pain that radiates to the medial side of the forearm, wrist, or hand, pain that worsens with grasping objects, elbow stiffness, and decreased range of motion.
The treatment of medial epicondylitis is conservative, with patients following an appropriately structured physical therapy rehabilitation program.
This condition is common in those who repeatedly perform resisted forearm pronation.
Pain in the outer side of the elbow when extending the wrist and fingers that worsens with fatigue, muscle weakness in movements, such as that of grasping.
Use of Kinesio Tape, modification of sports technique, transverse massage, special Manual Therapy & Mulligan techniques and obviously therapeutic exercise etc.
