Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is a painful musculoskeletal condition, which is considered to be due to overuse, over-stress or over-exertion of the wrist extensors of the forearm, especially extensor carpi radialis brevi.
The aim of this study is to The compare the short-term effects of different physiotherapy approaches on pain, function and grip strength in the rehabilitation of patients with lateral epicondylitis.
Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is a painful musculoskeletal condition, which is considered to be due to overuse, over-stress or over-exertion of the wrist extensors of the forearm, especially extensor carpi radialis brevi. Different treatment approaches are described in the literature. The primary aim of the treatment approaches are decrease the pain and improve the functional level in patients with lateral epicondylitis. Thus, decreasing pain and regaining the functional performance in the daily living activity is essential in early diagnosed patients.
The aim of this study is to compare the short-term effects of different treatment approaches on pain, function and grip strength in the rehabilitation of patients with lateral epicondylitis.
