Wrist and shoulder exercises for tennis elbow pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether specific wrist and shoulder exercises can reduce pain and improve grip strength in people with tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow). You'd do resistance exercises and stabilization work to see if they help you regain function.
