  1. OMM for Repetitive Use Injuries of the Upper Extremity - Elbow Pain Developed for OUCOM CORE by Brad Werrell, D.O. Edited by David Eland, D.O. and the CORE Osteopathic Principles and Practices Committee Session #8 – Series B

  2. History of Illness • Insidious onset of pain • Progressive course • Exacerbated by certain actions, with a history of repetition of those actions over time • Alleviated by rest • No paresthesias • No acute trauma

  3. Have patient demonstrate the location of the pain, and the motion which exacerbates that pain. 2. Compare the injured limb to the uninjured limb. Make note of structural, pigmentary and soft tissue differences by observation. 3. Observe the habitual function of the joint proximal to the injured joint. Examination Through Observation

  4. Palpate the bones – check for tenderness to palpation: Medial and lateral epicondyles Radial head Olecranon process of the ulna Palpate soft tissues: For bogginess For tenderness For temperature Examination Through Palpation

  5. Positional diagnosis of the radial head Posterior vs Anterior Fluctuance Fluid in the joint or bursa Tenderness -- Temperature Changes Examination Through Palpation

  6. Active Range of Motion Elbow Flexion and Extension Forearm supination and pronation Look for: Limitations of range of motion Pain with motion Functional Examination

  7. Elbow flexion and extension Forearm supination and pronation Range of motion (compare sides) End-feel of motion Passive Range of Motion

  8. 1. Tinnel’s Test of the Olecranon Tunnel - Tinnel’s Test of the Carpal Tunnel 2. Evaluation of the sense of touch comparing both upper extremities 3. Brachioradialis reflex bilaterally - Triceps reflex bilaterally 4. Observation of the hands and wrists for muscular wasting Neurologic Examination

  11. HVLA of the Posterior Radial Head

  12. HVLA of the Anterior Radial Head

  13. Ligamentous Articular Release of the Elbow

  14. Counterstrain Treatment of the Radial Tenderpoint

  15. Counterstrain Treatment of theMedical Coronoid Process Tenderpoint

  16. Counterstrain Treatment of the Lateral Coronoid Tenderpoint
