Aim: To compare the effectiveness of supervised exercise programme as proposed by Stasinopoulos and colleagues with home exercise programme as proposed by Pienimaki and his coworkers in the treatment of lateral elbow tendinopathy. Design : Controlled clinical trial. Setting : Physiotherapy and rehabilitation centre. Participants : This trial was carried out with 60 patients, who had lateral elbow tendinopathy. Intervention : Group A ( n = 30) had received supervised exercise programme, once per…

Development of an optimised physiotherapist-led treatment protocol for lateral elbow tendinopathy: a consensus study using an online nominal group technique

An optimised physiotherapist-led treatment protocol for people with LET was successfully developed using an online NGT consensus approach and is ready for testing in a future pilot/feasibility RCT to contribute much needed evidence.

Exercise for tendinopathy.

Clinicians combine eccentric training with other physiotherapy techniques such as stretching, isometric and lumbar stability exercises, electrotherapy, manual therapy, soft tissue manipulation techniques, taping and acupuncture in the management of tendinopathies.

Literature Review of Physiotherapy Interventions for Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy

It is recommended to give advice to avoid heavy lifting, avoid forceful gripping and twisting activities, favour palm-up lifting rather than palmdown, and modify work by taking more rest breaks, alter work patterns and change practice regarding lifting.

Comparison of effects of exercise programme, pulsed ultrasound and transverse friction in the treatment of chronic patellar tendinopathy

Although the results suggested that the exercise programme was more effective treatment than ultrasound and transverse friction at the end of the treatment as well as at the follow-ups, future controlled studies are needed to establish the relative and absolute effectiveness of each of the three treatment interventions.

Comparing the effects of eccentric training with eccentric training and static stretching exercises in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy. A controlled clinical trial

Eccentric training and static stretching exercises is superior to eccentric training alone to reduce pain and improve function in patients with patellar tendinopathy at the end of the treatment and at follow-up.

Clinical improvement after 6 weeks of eccentric exercise in patients with mid‐portion Achilles tendinopathy – a randomized trial with 1‐year follow‐up

It is concluded that eccentric exercises seem to reduce pain and improve function in patients with Achilles tendinopathy, and the recommendation that patients should undergo an eccentric exercise program prior to considering other treatments such as surgery is strengthened.
