Elbow Joint Complex: Functional Anatomy, Biomechanics, Clinical Evaluation, and Evidence-Based Rehabilitation Strategies provides a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the elbow joint complex and their role in functional movement. The course explores clinical assessment techniques, special tests, and common as well as serious elbow pathologies, including anterior and posterior elbow pain syndromes. Learners will gain insights into evidence-based physical therapy rehabilitation and management approaches for various elbow disorders, with a particular focus on medial and lateral epicondylitis. This course is designed to enhance clinical reasoning and support effective rehabilitation practices in musculoskeletal physical therapy.
