What's tennis elbow? Write in your own words after getting knowledge from the lesson post.

The frequent ailment known as tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis causes pain and soreness in the elbow's outside region. This occurs as a result of overuse or straining of the forearm's muscles and tendons frequently from repetitive motions like gripping or raising. It can develop in anyone who engages in activities that strain the forearm muscles not just tennis players. Particularly while performing activities requiring hand or wrist movements the pain may begin gradually and get worse with time. Repetitive strain on the tendons and forearm muscles that connect to the bony region outside the elbow is the primary cause of tennis elbow. Overuse at work sports or even daily tasks like gardening or lifting heavy bags can cause it. Occasionally even It might be brought on by a little trauma or injury. The pain can greatly interfere with day-to-day functioning by making it difficult to hold objects twist the wrist or perform daily tasks.

The goals of treatment are to strengthen the forearm muscles lessen strain and relieve pain. A heating pad a soft tissue massage and certain exercises are examples of simple remedies that can be quite beneficial. Muscle strength and flexibility are enhanced by exercises like wrist movements finger stretches and ball squeezing. Tennis elbow symptoms can be reduced with appropriate treatment and consistent exercise enabling people to return to their regular activities pain-free. Severe instances however may need surgery or more sophisticated therapy to recover.

How would you diagnose a tennis elbow? Any clinical investigation or assessment tests?

Understanding the patient symptoms and everyday activities is the first step in diagnosing tennis elbow. Any soreness around the outer elbow particularly when grasping raising or twisting will be inquired about by a physician or therapist. Additionally they will assess whether the discomfort worsens with particular motions or activities. This makes it easier to determine if the problem is due to a minor injury or repetitive arm use. Accurate diagnosis requires knowledge of the patient routine and physical habits. A physical examination comes next. In order to identify any painful places and assess for stiffness or swelling the physician will apply light pressure to the elbow.

To check if the discomfort gets worse they could also urge the patient to do easy exercises like raising a small object or making a fist.These examinations assist in identifying the trouble spot and verifying whether tennis elbow or another arm ailment is the cause. Special tests are occasionally employed to validate the diagnosis. In order to determine whether the pain gets worse they entail moving the wrist or forearm against resistance. The doctor can determine the extent of the tendons' damage with the use of these quick and easy tests. Although X-rays and other imaging tests are not typically required they may be performed in extreme or uncommon circumstances to rule out other issues.

Share your review after performing these exercises either on yourself healthy individual or patient.

I discovered how beneficial these workouts are for strengthening my hands and forearms after giving them a try. After a few repetitions I could feel my muscles straining even though ball squeezing felt effortless at first. It's an easy yet effective method to increase endurance and grip strength. This is beneficial for everyone including healthy people as it enhances hand movement attention. The finger stretch practice helped to increase finger mobility and was quite soothing. My fingertips felt more supple and prepared for grasping activities as a result. Anyone who frequently utilizes their hands for work or household tasks may find this exercise especially beneficial. It fits well with hectic schedules because it is quick and simple to complete. I thought it was An excellent method for reducing stiffness. Although a little difficult wrist flexor stretches and wrist isometric exercises were quite helpful.

While the isometric workouts strengthened my forearm muscles in various directions the stretches aided increase wrist flexibility. Although maintaining the positions required concentration it was satisfying. For those recuperating from tennis elbow or wishing to avoid such problems these workouts are perfect. After performing these exercises regularly I noticed a general increase in my strength and flexibility. After trying these exercises I realized how helpful they are for building stronger hands and forearms. Following several repetitions.

¡Saludos amiga!🤗

El ejercicio de la pelota es maravilloso. Cuando la apretamos además de sentir, podemos ver la gran presión que tienen los músculos que están en esa área y, más allá de ser desagradable, realmente agrada realizar ese ejercicio.

Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica... Un fuerte abrazo💚

Observations

Task 1 (2.6/3)
You have shared a great knowledge about tennis elbow, its symptoms, cause, but didn't add its types. It would be better to add explanation of the types of tennis elbow. I appreciate your effort.

Task 2 (2.6/3)
In the second question, you tell us about how you have to assess a patient by doing physical examination, history taking, and investigations. But didn't add special tests. It would be better to add explanation of investigations and special tests too. Good.

Task 3 (3.8/4)
You try the finger stretches, wrist flexor stretch, ball squeezing and wrist isometric exercises. You did the finger stretches, ball squeezing, wrist isometric exercises and wrist flexor stretch correctly. It would be better to add the gifs or videos while performing these exercises. Always remember to apply heat pack in chronic condition and ice pack in acute condition before performing exercises to relax the muscles and reduce stiffness. I appreciate your efforts.

Overall you made a great attempt to answer all the questions. I appreciate your efforts. But next time try to avoid the above written suggestions. Keep learning and try to implement your knowledge to the people suffering from tennis elbow or any type of wrist. Thank you.
