Summary

This study compares wrist heavy slow resistance exercises with shoulder stabilization exercises to see which better reduces pain and improves grip strength in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Thirty-two adults aged 30-50 with elbow pain for at least 2 weeks will do their assigned exercises 3 times a week for 6 weeks. The goal is to find the most effective exercise strategy for this common condition.
