The Biomechanics
of Golfer's and
Tennis Elbow
Golfer's elbow and tennis elbow are both musculoskeletal
pathologies that are hallmarked by elbow pain, hence
their names. However, even though these conditions
cause elbow pain, they are not conditions of the actual
elbow joint; rather, they are overuse syndromes of
musculature of the hand and/or the fingers. Pain is
experienced at the elbow because these muscles
have their proximal tendinous attachments there.
