Excess laxity during valgus stress test in the elbow.
What is UCL involvement?
- Age: 10-35
- Atraumatic most common
- Looseness of the shoulder in all directions
- Pain typically in midranges of motion
- Decreased lower trap and serratus anterior activation

- Result of repeated microtraumas and negative ulnar variance
- Most common in adult males
- Gradually worsening wrist pain
- Possible swelling over lunate
- Pain with palpation over the lunate

3; superior-inferior, anterior-posterior, medial-lateral
A positing Froment's sign indicates this condition.
- Tenderness over the supinator muscle
- Pain with resisted supination of the forearm with the elbow flexed to 90 degrees and forearm fully pronated
- May have positive neurodynamic tests
What is radial tunnel syndrome?
Grade B interventions from the lateral elbow pain CPG.
What is isometric, concentric, and/or eccentric therapeutic resisted exercises, local elbow joint manipulation or mobilization techniques to reduce pain and increase pain-free grip strength, tendon or trigger point dry needling for the treatment of pain and functional deficits, and rigid taping techniques for immediate/short-term pain relief and improvement in pain-free muscle function?
Patient weight bearing and PT stabilizes the distal radius and ulna and provides radial glide to proximal carpal row.
