If I left you hanging from the previous post,
I do apologize. It has been a busy summer with
taking a medical diagnostics course, teaching,
family activities and life in general.
As a follow up to the previous post here are the
ideal elbow movement patterns using 4 base clinical tests.
So the next time you are faced with a client who presents
with lateral epicondylitis, try looking at these movement patterns
and observe for uncontrolled movement or “Give”.
Four Base Elbow Movement Pattern Tests:
(Try these on yourself)

Neutral forearm - ideal movement pattern is without radial or ulnar
deviation or wrist extension or pronation
Pronated Forearm - ideal pattern is without wrist extension,
radial deviation, excessive pronation, glenohumeral external
rotation or glenohumeral adduction
