process. The early goal of a therapeutic exercise program is to promote muscle endurance and improve resistance to repetitive stress. Following a well-structured conditioning program will help you return to daily activities, as well as sports and other recreational pastimes.
Specific exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles attached to the injured tendon will help with the healing process. The early goal of a therapeutic exercise program is to promote muscle endurance and improve resistance to repetitive stress.
Endurance training must be the first training goal, with lighter loads and pain-free range of motion, followed by strength and power. This progression will help increase the loads gradually and allow for sensory, proprioceptive, and motor pattern retraining to occur.
Exercises for lateral epicondyle tendinopathy (LET) should be chosen according to patient preference, and the clinical evaluation. There is a large volume of clinical evidence that consistently supports the use of exercise for management of chronic LET.
pain, move forward in the program by increasing weight (begin with 1lb., advance to 2 lbs., end with 3 lbs.). Stage 1: Bend your elbow to 90 degrees and support your forearm on a table with your wrist placed at the edge. Stage 2: Straighten your elbow slightly. Continue to support your arm on the table.
This guideline is intended to assist clinicians and patients through the non-operative course of care for Medial and Lateral Epicondylitis/Epicondylalgia. This protocol is time based (dependent upon tissue healing) as well as criterion based (dependent upon patient tolerance).
This guideline is designed to support clinicians and patients in managing non-operative treatment for Medial and Lateral Epicondylitis/Epicondylalgia. The protocol is structured around both time-dependent tissue healing and criterion-based patient tolerance.
