Wrist Heavy Slow Resistance and Shoulder Stabilization Exercises on Pain, Grip Strength and Functional Ability in Lateral Epicondylitis
Comparative Impact of Wrist Heavy Slow Resistance and Shoulder Stabilization Exercises on Pain, Grip Strength and Functional Ability in Lateral Epicondylitis
University of Faisalabad
32 participants
Feb 2, 2026
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The study will compare the shoulder and wrist treatment approaches to determine their effect on elbow. Thirty-two medically stable participants with active shoulder and wrist movements will be enrolled into two groups. Both groups will receive structured training for six weeks. Outcomes will be measured using standardized assessment tools. The aim is to identify the more effective strategy for improving upper limb kinetic chain which is affected by lateral epicondylitis

- Include those who will be clinically diagnosed with LE from the orthopedic OPD. A pain score of more than or equal to 4 in NPRS diagnosed as tennis elbow.
Exclusion Criteria3
- Those who will have pain on the lateral aspect of the elbow for 6 months or more than 6 months.
- Subjects who will be diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy. Those who will have the injury and disease around the shoulder, elbow and wrist.

Interventions
Wrist heavy slow resistance exercises performed with the help of weights by stabilizing the hand on the table. As the repetitions will got increased, as the weight will decrease. Sessions conducted 3 times/week for 6 weeks.
This trial include the shoulder stabilization exercises performed with the help of thera-band by stabilizing the subject across the wall and check the effect on elbow to treat lateral epicondylitis
