Randomized Controlled Trial
The effectiveness of Biomechanical Taping Technique on visual analogue scale, static maximum handgrip strength, and Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation of patients with lateral epicondylalgia: A cross-over study.
Lateral epicondylalgia (LE) is a musculoskeletal injury involving the common extensor origin in elbow manifesting as pain and ineffective handgrip affecting the daily activities of the individuals with LE. ⋯ BMT is a novel taping technique effective in decreasing lateral elbow pain, increasing handgrip strength and improving function of patients with LE. BMT can be applied on painful elbows effecting a better grip among patients with LE.
