Dr. Lindsey Hughey // #ClinicalTuesday // www.ptonice.com 

In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, Extremity Division leader Lindsey Hughey shares insights on conducting an effective elbow exam, particularly focusing on lateral elbow tendinopathy, commonly known as tennis elbow. Lindsey emphasizes the importance of a simple yet focused exam, supported by the latest clinical guidelines from Lucado et al. (2022). The discussion highlights key subjective complaints such as pinpoint tenderness in the lateral elbow and pain associated with gripping and loading activities. Dr. Hughey also addresses the common history of repetitive work in patients, including those in factory roles, baristas, and racket sports.
