Summary

A randomized cross-over trial comparing the immediate effects of a wrist extensor exercise with and without blood flow restriction (BFR) on pain perception in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET).

Conditions

  • Lateral Epicondylitis

Interventions

OTHER

Exercise with Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)

Wrist extensor exercise (concentric - eccentric) with BFR. BFR involves the reduction of blood flow to working skeletal muscle by applying a flexible cuff to the most proximal portions of a person's arms or legs that results in decreased arterial flow to the exercising muscle and occluded venous return back to the central circulation.

OTHER

Exercise without Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)

Wrist extensor exercise (concentric - eccentric)
