The effectiveness of Biomechanical Taping Technique on visual analogue scale, static maximum handgrip strength, and Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation of patients with lateral epicondylalgia: A cross-over study

摘要

Introduction: Lateral epicondylalgia (LE) is a musculoskeletal injury involving the common extensor origin in elbow manifesting as pain and ineffective handgrip affecting the daily activities of the individuals with LE.Objectives: This study determined the effectiveness of Standard Biomechanical Taping (SBMT), Vector Correcting Dysfunction Techniques 1 (VCDT 1) and Vector Correcting Dysfunction Technique 2 (VCDT 2); and compared their differences on effects on pain, grip strength and daily functions of individual with unilateral LE.
