Comparative effect of new physiotherapy with emphasis on shoulder and scapula exercises with traditional physiotherapy on pain, strength and disability outcomes in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy
The purpose of our research is answer to this question: are shoulder and scapula muscles exersices plus local elbow exersice play a role on pain, strenght or disability in patients with lateral epicondylalgia? and to identify which patients may best benefit from this treatment approach; versus traditional physiotherapy ( heat, friction massage, TENS, local elbow exersice.)
