Multicenter StudyComputer use associated with poor long-term prognosis of conservatively managed lateral epicondylalgia.
Multicenter prospective design with a cohort of patients with lateral epicondylalgia commencing physical therapy. ⋯ Although many of the participants identified sports activities as the cause of their injury, these findings emphasize the importance that a patient's work tasks can have on recovery of lateral epicondylalgia. This would suggest that management should perhaps focus on work stations, postures, and behaviors.

Case ReportsManual physical therapy examination and intervention of a patient with radial wrist pain: a case report.
Clinical case report. ⋯ Several diagnoses have the potential for causing or referring pain into the radial wrist and forearm region, often times mimicking de Quervain's disease. An impairment-based manual physical therapy model may be an effective approach in identifying joint dysfunctions and managing patients with radial wrist pain.
