Researchers are evaluating the effects of two different exercise approaches—wrist heavy slow resistance exercises and shoulder stabilization exercises—on pain, grip strength, and functional ability in people with lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow. The study aims to determine which strategy better improves the upper limb kinetic chain affected by this condition. Thirty-two medically stable adults aged 30 to 50 with active shoulder and wrist movements will participate. Participants will be divided into two groups, each receiving structured training for six weeks. One group will perform wrist heavy slow resistance exercises using weights while stabilizing the hand on a table. The repetitions will increase while the weight decreases, with sessions held three times per week. The other group will perform shoulder stabilization exercises using a thera-band against a wall to assess the effect on the elbow in treating lateral epicondylitis. During the study, researchers will measure outcomes such as pain levels after six weeks using standardized assessment tools. Assessments will include grip strength and functional ability. The study will monitor participants' progress throughout the six-week training period to evaluate which exercise approach provides better improvement for lateral epicondylitis symptoms.
