Summary

We aim to investigate the effects of adding scapular stabilization exercises to the extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) protocol in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis on pain, muscle strength, functional status, and quality of life.

Conditions

  • Lateral Epicondylitis
  • Tennis Elbow

Interventions

OTHER

ESWT + Scapular stabilization exercise program

Participants in the study group will follow a treatment protocol consisting of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) - 5 sessions, once per week - combined with stretching exercises for the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) and wrist extensor muscles, strengthening exercises for the wrist extensors, and an additional scapular stabilization exercise program. This combined program will be performed twice per week for a duration of 8 weeks. The scapular stabilization component will include strengthening exercises targeting the lower and middle trapezius and serratus anterior muscles. The program will consist of scapular clock exercises, wall push-up exercises, and wall slide or ball slide exercises performed on a wall.
