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.
