LATERAL EPICONDYLE RECONSTRUCTION REHABILITATION PROTOCOL
PHASE I (0-6 weeks)
Goals:
Prevent active wrist extension to protect repair, maintain shoulder ROM Precautions:
Immobilizer should be worn at all times for first 7-10 days. Continue use of wrist splint for 34wks.
Therapeutic Exercise: Passive ROM as tolerated. Gentle hand/wrist/elbow/shoulder stretching. Isometric hand/wrist/elbow/shoulder strengthening (avoid wrist extension). Limit active wrist extension for 6 weeks post-operative.
Criteria to progress to phase II: 1. Pain and edema controlled 2. Tolerance to passive range of motion at shoulder/elbow/wrist
PHASE II (6 - 8 weeks)
Goals:
Return to full range of motion, initiate high repetition exercises for elbow/wrist
Therapeutic Exercise:
Increase range of motion to full. Advance strengthening exercises in phase I to resistive/isotonic. Begin gentle active wrist extension exercises.
Criteria to progress to phase III:
1. Full AROM
2. Tolerance of initial phase of strengthening
PHASE III (8 - 12 weeks) Goals:
Begin low level sport activities with progression back into sport Therapeutic Exercise:
Full and pain-free. Advance phase II activities. Gradual progression toward return to full activity. Criteria to return to sport: 1. MD Clearance 2. Sport Specific testing
