Abstract

Lateral Epicondylitis is an overuse injury involving the extensor muscles in the forearm. A four group randomized controlled trial was used in this hypothetical study with subjects between the ages of 18 and 38 years with lateral epicondylitis (LE) with symptoms lasting longer than 6 months determined by a physician. The findings were hypothetical, but it was determined that iontophoresis in pairing with eccentric exercise and static stretching will increase grip strength in participants.
