Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Lateral epicondylalgia (LE), commonly known as tennis elbow, is a prevalent condition impacting workers in physically demanding rural industries.
  • Industries like agriculture, food processing, and winemaking pose a significant risk for work-related upper limb disorders, including LE.
  • Rural health professionals frequently encounter LE, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its causes and effective management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of the etiology and management of lateral epicondylalgia.
  • To provide guidance for rural health professionals managing patients with LE.
  • To highlight evidence-based treatment options, emphasizing the role of exercise.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current understanding of LE etiology.
  • Analysis of existing treatment options for LE.
  • Synthesis of recent research findings on exercise-based interventions.

Main Results:

  • Exercise is identified as a crucial component in the management of LE.
  • While various treatment options exist, the literature shows division regarding the most effective approach.
  • Emerging research suggests incorporating shoulder and cervical spine stabilizing exercises in addition to traditional wrist extensor exercises.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of LE requires a multifaceted approach.
  • Rural practitioners should consider a broader range of exercises, including those for shoulder and cervical spine stabilization.
  • Further research may clarify optimal management strategies for LE in occupational settings.
