Medial epicondylitis is sometimes referred to as “Golfers Elbow”; however, numerous other repetitive athletic activities such as overhead throwing, bowling, and weightlifting have also been associated with the development of medial epicondylitis. However, 90% of cases appear not to be associated with athletic activities (Kiel & Kaiser, 2019). Studies have demonstrated that occupational risk factors include activities repeatedly stressing the flexor tendons including wrist bending, rotational motions of the forearm, and forceful gripping are associated with medial epicondylitis.
