Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to address the inconsistencies in the literature by investigating the effects of a forearm counterforce brace and a wrist splint, used in addition to exercise therapy, on pain, functionality, and grip strength in individuals diagnosed with lateral elbow tendinopathy, compared to those receiving exercise therapy alone.The findings aim to provide valuable insights into clinical practice by highlighting the roles of both orthosis use and exercise in the treatment of lateral elbow tendinopathy.
