Tendon neuroplastic training for lateral elbow tendinopathy: 2 case reports
1Department of Graduate Studies, Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.
Objective:
To report 2 cases of lateral elbow tendinopathy treated with a novel adaptation of tendon neuroplastic training (TNT).
Clinical Features:
Patient 1: A 61-year-old male machine operator presented with one year of bilateral lateral elbow pain related to his occupation of using torque wrenches.Patient 2: A 37-year-old male electrician presented with two months of recurrent left lateral elbow pain related to repetitive motions of gripping and pulling at work.
Intervention And Outcome:
Both patients underwent 8 weeks of a novel rehabilitation program, including TNT, which involved pacing their resistance exercises to a metronome. Both patients experienced clinically meaningful improvements in pain and functional outcome scores that were sustained at the 3-month follow-up.
Summary:
Recent evidence suggests that the central nervous system may play a role in chronic tendinopathies. It is possible that TNT may address the central nervous system component of chronic/recurrent tendinopathy that is not addressed by traditional passive therapies. However, further research is needed.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
