 Muscle Associations : Ipsilateral association
We have found that a pathology to an organ, joint, or bone will reveal itself by a dual imbalance of the proximal and distal agonistic and antagonistic muscles, tendons, or joint structures associated with it.
Cystitis, for instance, will reveal a double imbalance of the flexors and extensors of the foot, the hand, the neck, and locally of the lower abdominals and the last lumbars.
It is also an internal rotator and extensor when contracting the anterior muscle fibers and is an external rotator and extensor when contracting the posterior muscle segment.

The term 'tennis elbow' was introduced in the 1880s but it was not until 1979 that pathology of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon was associated with lateral tennis elbow [62].
At surgery in over 600 cases of lateral tennis elbow, Nirschl found the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon to contain disrupted collagen fibres, increased cellularity and neovascularisation [63].
Examples include paratenonitis of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis longus (De Quervain's disease), and of the flexor hallucis longus as it passes the medial malleolus of the tibia [5, 86].
