Summary

Lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, is a common condition that causes pain in the elbow and forearm, especially in people who perform repetitive wrist movements. In most patients, symptoms improve over time, but in some cases, pain may persist for longer periods.Exercise programs are commonly used in treatment to reduce pain and improve arm function. Kinesiology taping is another method that may help reduce pain by improving blood circulation and supporting muscle movement. Wrist-hand splints are also used to allow the affected muscles to rest by keeping the wrist in a supported position, which may help reduce pain and improve daily activities.The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of kinesiology taping and wrist splint use in the treatment of patients with lateral epicondylitis.

Conditions

  • Lateral Epicondylitis
  • Tennis Elbow

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesiotaping

Kinesiotaping was applied twice a week for a total of six sessions using muscle inhibition and epidermis-dermis-fascia (EDF) techniques. In addition, participants received standardized cold application and a home exercise program.

DEVICE

Wrist-Hand Splint

Participants were instructed to use a static wrist-hand splint for three weeks to maintain the wrist in a slightly extended position. Standardized cold application and a home exercise program were also provided.

OTHER

Conservative treatment

Participants received standardized cold application and a home exercise program without kinesiotaping or splint use.
