![]() ![]() The significant risk factors have been identified include improper technique and the size and weight of the racquet. It is predictable that 50% tennis elbow occur in tennis players. The common cause of tennis elbow found in tennis. The activity of extensor carpi radialis brevis are reduced and also found upper limb muscle weakness due to disuse and fear of avoidance. This condition is not only found among tennis player but also common in persons who perform repetitive upper body activities such as carpenters, musicians and computer programmers. The computer keyboard or mouse use increases the risk. The athletes who play tennis, baseball, volleyball, golf have risk for developing tennis elbow. The occupation, sports and domestic activities that are related with repetitive wrist extension there are high risk for developing tennis elbow. The characteristic of tennis elbow comprises pain over lateral epicondyle, pain during shaking of hands, poor grip strength. It is an overuse painful tendinopathy that affect elbow joint and radio-humeral joint. The peak age between 40 to 49 years in their productive ages. and reported that the incidence of tennis elbow is 3.3 to 3. Ī descriptive study was done by Sanders, et al. The prevalence of lateral epicondylitis in the general population is approximately 1.0–1.3% in men and 1.1–4.0% in women. The prevalence of tennis elbow in 3.8 % in Japan and female are more prevalent and affected population in between 50 years to 59 years of age. Tennis elbow is not an uncommon condition in upper extremity. Histological examination showed that there is deficiency of acute inflammation cells in lateral epicondylitis. It is referred to the inflammation of common wrist extensor group of muscles especially in extensor carpi radialis brevis. Lateral epicondylitis is commonly known as tennis elbow. Lateral epicondylitis, isotonic strength training, eccentric strength training, concentric strength training. Conclusion: The scientific evidence supports the effectiveness of isotonic strength training especially eccentric exercise for patients with lateral epicondylitis. The concentric exercise and eccentric exercise are not differed separately for the outcome of pain, strength and function in lateral epicondylitis patients Isolated eccentric exercise is not useful whereas effective with combined approaches in stretching and isometric strength training. ![]() The muscle length is changing by this strength training (concentric and eccentric).Īim: The aim of this study is to find out the role of isotonic strength training for patients with lateral epicondylitis.ĭiscussion: The isotonic exercise reduces the chance of recurrence and help to athlete for returning to play as early as possible. Isotonic strength training is one of component of rehabilitation. Research on physiotherapy still not proven the superiority of any specific approach. This condition is confirmed by cozen’s test, mill’s test. The patients complain of pain and tenderness over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, weakness at grip and loss of function. ![]() This injury not only occur in tennis player but also happen in other sports like racquetball, squash, weight lifting and jobs involving highly repetitive movement. Background: Lateral epicondylitis is the painful musculoskeletal condition that is caused by overuse injury. ![]()
