简要总结
The concept of epicondylitis refers to the manifestation of pain ni the area of insertation of the epicondile muscles, and that it is accompained by limitation funcional.A tendinopathy is characterized as a process of degenaration, with fibroblast proliferation and disorganization of the fibers of collagen. This tendon pathology especially affects the epicondyle extensors and especially the first and second radial and short extensor carpal.
详细描述
Eccentric exercises of the epicondyle muscles were performed in 3 sets of 10 repetitions. Participants were asked to perform the exercise program on an individual basis twice every day for 4 weeks. The eccentric program consisted of 3 exercises, focusing on the epicondyle muscles. Participants were asked to do a normal flexion extension (concentric phase) and a slow return to the initial position (eccentric phase) included first the concentric phase, and the eccentric phase was slowly conducted. The exercise program was taught by a physiotherapist in the first session and monitored in the subsequent sessions.
