Clinical biomechanics of the elbow in tennis : implications for evaluation and diagnosis

Elbow injuries constitute a sizeable percentage of tennis injuries. Biomechanical analysis of the forces, loads, and motions on the elbow in tennis, and the constraint systems operating the control the forces, can lead to an understanding of the pathophysiology of these injuries. A biomechanically b...

Description
Summary:Elbow injuries constitute a sizeable percentage of tennis injuries. Biomechanical analysis of the forces, loads, and motions on the elbow in tennis, and the constraint systems operating the control the forces, can lead to an understanding of the pathophysiology of these injuries. A biomechanically based evaluation framework can be used to document all of the clinical symptoms, anatomic alterations, and biomechanical alterations that are associated with the pathological problem.
