Sleeping with the arm folded behind neck. Pressing the elbows upon the arms of a chair while typing or resting the elbow on the arm rest of a vehicle. Prolonged flexing of the elbow, such as when you hold a cell phone to your ear!
Maintaining good posture and proper use of the elbow and arms, such as wearing an arm splint while sleeping to maintain the arm is in a semi-straight position instead of keeping the elbow tightly bent.
