Tennis elbow (epicondylitis lateralis) is caused by an overuse of the muscles and tendons of the forearm that attach to the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondyle). These are muscles that provide stretching of the wrist and fingers.

Cartilage defects (osteochondral lesions) of one or more bone parts of the joint can occur due to wear and tear and/or a (sports) injury. It can also occur spontaneously without any apparent cause.

A trigger finger is an abnormality caused by inflammation of the flexor tendons of a finger.

With metatarsalgia, you have pain at the ball of the foot, just before the start of the toes.

Bursitis is a disruption of the movement pattern of the shoulder girdle. Overuse during prolonged activities reduces the space between the tendon (rotator cuff) and the shoulder roof (acromion).

In all movements of a normal shoulder, the humeral head is located centrally in the scapula. If the contact between the head and the socket disappears with certain movements, this indicates instability and you get the feeling that the shoulder is 'dislocating'.
