No results posted yet for this study

Summary

the aim of the study is to determine whether a scapular strength exercise program combined with a conventional exercise program in epicondylar region in patients with lateral epicondylalgia produces statistically significant improvements in pain in the short and medium term compared to a conventional exercise program.

Conditions

  • Lateral Epicondylitis

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Scapular program

the patient will be in prone. With the elbow extended, begin by raising the shoulder above the head, keeping the upper extremity in line with the fibers of the lower trapezius. The participant will then remain pronated with the elbow flexed at 90 degrees and the shoulder abducted and externally rotated. Starting from this position, you should exert the force towards external rotation and then return to internal rotation. For the last exercise, the subject will be placed in a standing position holding the elastic band with one hand while the other end will fix it to the ground, while stepping on it with the foot. You will start the movement with a shoulder elevation in the plane of the scapula above 120 degrees and then perform the eccentric returning to the starting position.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional program

They will be performing a combination of concentric-eccentric type contractions adding an isometric contraction
