Design and construction of a tennis elbow brace with light-emitting diode in subjects with lateral epicondylitis

摘要

Individuals with tennis elbow often experience pain and difficulty with functional activities. Thus, designing orthotics to improve function and decrease pain is common practice. These therapists designed an orthosis using a combination of a tennis elbow brace and light therapy. Therapists in the US need to take into consideration that this is not an FDA-approved device before applying the device to a patient.
