Little League Elbow

Liłtle league elbow is a common injury which occurs to the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The cause of this injury is an overuse of the common flexor muscle group during adolescents. It results from repetitive microtrauma of the bony attachment for the common elbow flexors, which during puberty are stronger than the attachment.

The Kinesio Taping Technique will assist in reducing edema and pain. There are several Kinesio taping techniques which may provide reduced inflammation and pain, the practitioner will need to determine which techniques is best for their patient. If one technique does not provide significant results, another technique may.

For acute pain relief a mechanical correction strip may be applied in an attempt to "hołd down" the apophysitis of medial epicondyle of the humerus. For complete review see mechanical correction tech-nique.

Place the patients elbow in slight flexion. Begin by tearing the paper backing of a 4 - 6 inch long Kinesio I strip in the middle. Holding both ends apply moderate to severe, 50-100% of available tension with downward pressure to the center of the Kinesio strip over the medial epicondyle of the humerus.

Prior to laying down the Kinesio strip ends, have the patient move their elbow into fuli extension and lay down the ends with no tension.

Option 2: Application of a space WITCCfen technigue

For review see space correction technique.

Lay down the two bases of the Kinesio strip down with no tension. Initiate glue activation prior to any further movement.
