Background
The tendons in the elbow and forearm are responsible for connecting the muscles to the bones. In tennis elbow, the tendons become inflamed and damaged, leading to pain and discomfort. Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in the elbow and forearm. There are several possible reasons for the development of tennis elbow: repetitive movements, such as those that occur during sports or when using hand tools, can overload the muscles and tendons in the elbow and forearm. Improper technique when gripping or lifting objects can increase the risk of tennis elbow. Weak muscles in the forearm and elbow are more vulnerable to injury and can contribute to the development of tennis elbow. Tennis elbow is more common in people over the age of 40, as the muscles and tendons can weaken with age.
Project description
The illustration of tennis elbow shows a human forearm with extensor muscles (brachioradialis muscle, extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle, extensor carpi radialis longus muscle) and their tendon insertions on the humerus. A detailed view visualizes the damage in the tendon insertions and thus the cause of the complaints.
In addition, an illustration was created to compare a healthy tendon fiber structure with a damaged fiber structure. In tennis elbow, these fibers are damaged and can even tear, leading to inflammation and pain.
