M1 locate the bones, joints, movement types and muscles used during a range of sporting activities: Example 1 – Andy Murray tennis serve.

test elicits paresthesias in the distribution of the median nerve. The reverse Phalen technique is also a test for carpal tunnel syndrome and is performed in a similar fashion to the Phalen test, but with the wrist held in extension instead of in flexion. Choice “C” is not the best answer. The Finkelstein test is used for de Quervain tenosynovitis—tenosynovitis of the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus tendons of the wrist. To perform this test, the patient is instructed to…

Cryotherapy was ineffective in both studies above-mentioned. However both of them presented limitations that ought to be mentioned. Pointon et al. (2011)13 used a small sample (10 athletes), and evaluated knee extensors, and in light of a study of Chen, Lin, Chen et al. (2011)15, it is known that knee extensors are more resistant to EIMD than other muscle groups (knee flexors and elbow flexors), which may have compromised the results. Johar (2012)14 recruited male and female participants that…
