If ECU tendonitis continues despite RICE and NSAID's.
Categories: Other
Description:
A structured exercise program helps improve strength, flexibility, and proprioception in Extensor Carpi Ulnaris (ECU) tendonitis. Key exercises include:
1) Eccentric Exercises: Slowly lowering the wrist from extension to flexion strengthens the tendon and reduces pain.
2) Proprioceptive Training: Balance exercises on unstable surfaces (e.g., wobble boards) enhance wrist stability and neuromuscular control.
3) Strengthening Exercises: Resisted wrist extension and ulnar deviation using bands or weights build ECU and surrounding muscle strength.
4) Stretching Exercises: Static wrist flexion and ulnar deviation stretches improve ECU flexibility when held for 30-45 seconds.
5) Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises: Weight-bearing activities, like push-ups on an unstable surface, improve joint stability and coordination.
These exercises should be supervised by a physical therapist to ensure proper technique and prevent aggravation. Regular reassessment and progression are essential for recovery.

AI generated Summary: Based on the single review provided by Dr. Curbside, physical therapy appears to be an effective treatment for Extensor Carpi Ulnaris Tendonitis, particularly when the condition persists despite initial management with rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The reviewer has given a rating of 5 out of 5, suggesting a high level of effectiveness for this treatment approach.
