Description: This course will focus on the pathoanatomy, biomechanics, clinical examination and differential diagnosis of common elbow conditions. Participants will learn a concise, systematic clinical examination of the elbow, including history taking and interpretation of findings, along with the complications and considerations of lateral epicondylitis, the recognition of posterolateral rotatory instability, the differential diagnosis and manual therapy of anterior and posterior elbow pain, and the evaluation of ulnar neuropathies at the elbow.

Objectives: At the end of the presentation, participants will be able to: 1. Describe the pathoanatomy and biomechanics of the elbow relevant to common clinical presentations. 2. Identify the components of a systematic clinical examination of the elbow, including key elements of the client history and physical tests. 3. Recognize the clinical findings associated with lateral epicondylitis, posterolateral rotatory instability, anterior and posterior elbow pain, and ulnar neuropathies at the elbow. 4. Explain how findings from the elbow examination inform the selection of management strategies for common elbow conditions. 5. Explain how common elbow conditions affect the client’s performance skills and participation in work, self-care, and leisure occupations.
