The Effectiveness of Eccentric-Concentric Training, Isometric Contractions, Scapular and Rotator Cuff Strengthening on Pain and Disability in Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy: A Case Report
Authored by Stasinopoulos Dimitrios*
Objective of the Study: The aim of the
present case report is to present the effect of an exercise programme
consisting of static stretching exercises, isometric, concentric-eccentric
training and strengthening of rotator cuff and scapula muscles exercises on
pain and disability in a patient experiencing Lateral Elbow tendinopathy (LET).
Case Report: A patient with
unilateral LET for 6 months was included in the present report. The patient
followed a supervised exercise programme consisting of slow progressive
concentric-eccentric training of the wrist extensors, isometric training of the
wrist extensors and static stretching exercises of the extensors muscles of the
wrist five times per week for 4 weeks. In addition, the rotator cuff and
scapular muscles were strengthened. The programme was individualized on the
basis of the patient’s description of pain experienced during the procedure.
Outcome measures were pain, using a visual analogue scale, and function, using
a visual analogue scale and the pain-free grip strength. The patients were
evaluated at baseline, at the end of treatment (week 4) and 1 month (week 8)
after the end of treatment.
