Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Severity of Disability
Measured by Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE)from the scoring between 0-100 at baseline and at the 4th week.
12 Months
Grip strength:
assessed by using modified sphygmomanometer in which it first inflated to 100 mmHg with closed valve. The pressure was reduced to 20mmHg and the resisted wrist extension performed at baseline and at the 4th week.
12 months
Study Arms (2)
Left/ Right affected arm
ACTIVE COMPARATORGrip strength
OTHERInterventions
Therapeutic exercises: eccentric and concentric exercises and wrist isometrics 10 repetitions of 3 sets with 10 seconds interval
assessed by using modified sphygmomanometer in which it first inflated to 100 mmHg with closed valve. The pressure was reduced to 20mmHg and the resisted wrist extension performed at baseline and at the 4th week.
