Patient Scenario
Mrs. Leo is 28 year-old female tennis player with a diagnosis of acute right humeral lateral epicondylitis and mild adhesive capsulitis of the right shoulder.
Subjective: The patient reports 4/10 right lateral elbow pain and right shoulder stiffness at rest, increasing to 6/10 pain with overhead reaching.
Clinical Findings: AROM is normal for right elbow and forearm; 120o glenohumeral abduction and 40o degrees of glenohumeral internal and external rotation. The glenohumeral joint capsule has moderate palpable scar adhesions. The right upper trapezius has moderate hypertonus secondary to abnormal scapulohumeral rhythm. Girth measurements over the lateral epicondyles: L = 16 cm and R = 19 cm. MMT: R wrist extension = 4/5, glenohumeral flexion and abduction = 4/5
Therapy Goals: Decrease right elbow and shoulder pain, decrease right lateral elbow inflammation, restore normal right upper trapezius muscle tone, establish normal glenohumeral rhythm, redeuce right glenohumeral capsular adhesions, decrease inflammation and swelling in area of right lateral epicondyle, normalize ROM of the right shoulder and elbow, and patient education and home program instruction.
Plan of Care: Provide physical agents and procedures to accomplish the therapy goals.
