00:00Radial tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow can often be confused with each other due to the
00:05fact that the areas of tenderness on the dorsal forearm are in the same general location.
00:10Here you can see the different areas depicted more clearly.
00:15Here we can see the therapist identifying the lateral epicondyle versus the radial tunnel.
00:20The therapist is going to check if there is any pain with palpation to the radial tunnel
00:25or any symptoms elicited with percussion at the radial tunnel.
00:29Similar to the phalens, we can also check for compression neuropathy by asking the patient
00:34to extend the elbow and flex the wrist maximally to see if there are any symptoms present.
00:43Similar to a median nerve glide, a distal radial nerve glide, seen here, can help alleviate
00:49symptoms of a radial tunnel nerve compression.
