Conditions
Brief summary
The study aim to compare the effect of thoracic mobilization versus counterforce forearm brace in treatment of LET. Detailed Description: Conditions: Lateral elbow tendinopathy Keywords: LET, Tennis elbow, Thoracic mobilization & counterforce forearm brace.
Interventions
DEVICEcounterforce forearm brace
a flexible band that fits around the proximal forearm, applying pressure to underlying tissues during activity to potentially reduce acceleration forces and alleviate pain associated with conditions like lateral epicondylitis.
