Physiotherapy and treatment of elbow enthesopathy

The topic of my work with the name ?Physiotherapy and Treatment of Enthesopathy in the Ulnar Joint? is very current at present. A large part of the population suffers from it, in the consequence of excessive loading. Very often the first symptoms, which could prevent the problems, are not taken into account. It often starts after single hard work (computer typing, wood chopping, etc.), and that acute form very often changes into a chronic form. The treatment of such problems is usually very protracted. The choice of the treatment is difficult as well and no method of a correct procedure of therapy has been described yet, because each individual reacts in a different way. It is not possible to estimate how long it will take, before the everyday activities could be resumed. As the aim in the theoretical part of my work I chose to study and apply the current available information from various resources and thus create an educational material about the application of suitable treatment. The basic anatomy of ulnar joint, kinesiology, the most often factors and reasons of the origin are described there. Further there were special methods of examination and a clinical picture, therapy and prevention against the problems. For the practical part I chose a method of a qualitative research. Three cases of patients, who were treated by MUDr. Kunovsky in Tabor and who underwent physiotherapy there, have been studied and dealt with. The research was carried out by means of observation, anamnesis and discussions during the treatment, the documentation of the patients and special examination methods. The treatment methods I have focused on were mobilization, technique of soft tissues, pro-prioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, physiotherapy and taping technique. Some forms of applications had a positive effect on the patients and brought improvement, the others showed no changes. In my opinion the individual elements should be combined and applied for a longer period of time and the anamnesis of the patient should be thoroughly discussed, to find out the main reasons of the origin. The patients learned a procedure during the therapy how to face correctly the origin of that problem and how to apply efficiently the preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of the problems. My work could be used for the purpose of studies of future physiotherapists, for the patients, or a source of information for public
