|
Pain over lateral elbow may indicate
|
lateral epicondylitis
|
|
|
Pain over medial elbow may indicate
|
medial epicondylitis,
medial collateral ligament sprain, ulnar nerve compression |
|
|
Pain over posterior elbow may indicate
|
olecranon bursitis
triceps tendinosis valgus extension overload |
|
|
Pain over cubital fossa may indicate
|
brachialis tear
biceps brachii lesion compression of posterior interosseous nerve capsular injury |
|
|
left arm and elbow pain may indicate
|
cardiovascular involvement such as angina
|
|
|
as wrist is abducted, distal ulnar ........, proximal ulnar ...... and radial head moves .......
|
distal ulnar adducts
proximal ulnar (olecranon) abducts radial head moves superiorly |
|
|
Tests for tennis elbow
|
1. Mills test
2. Cozens test |
|
|
Mills test
|
Palpate over lateral epicondyle
Passively pronate forearm, fully flex wrist and extend elbow Positive = pain over lateral epicondyle Puts pressure on radial nerve therefore if this nerve is compressed can cause similar symptoms to tennis elbow (need to differentiate using nerve conduction tests) |
|
|
Cozens test
|
Support patients elbow by holding lateral epicondyle
Paient makes a fist and pronates Resist patient radially deviating and extending wrist Positive = sudden severe pain over lateral epicondyle |
|
|
Test for Golfers elbow
|
palpate medial epicondyle
passively supinate and extend elbow and wrist Positive = pain over medial epicondyle |
|
|
Tests for neurological dysfunction
|
1. Tinel's sign at the elbow
2. Pinch grip test 3. Elbow flexion test |
|
|
Tinnel's sign at the elbow
|
Tap over the ulnar nerve in the groove between the medial epicondyle and the olecranon
Positive = tingles distal to compression of nerve indicating nerve compression/neuroma |
|
|
Pinch grip test
|
ask patient to pinch tips of index and thumb together.
should be tip-tip not pad-pad. Pad-pad indicates anterior interosseous nerve compromise (a branch of the median nerve) |
|
|
Elbow flexion test
|
BOLLYWOOD
ask patient to fully flex elbow, extend wrist, abduct arm and depress shoulder. Hold for 3-5min Positive = tingling or numbness in ulnar nerve distribution in forearm or hand Indicates cubital tunnel syndrome |
