Abstract
Lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition that is characterized by pain at the lateral epicondyle, aggravated by resisted dorsiflexion of the wrist. Lateral epicondylitis was defined by Runge et al for the first time in 1873. It’s otherwise known as lateral epicontylagia or tennis elbow, shooter’s elbow or arches elbow. Thus the results of this study concludes that tapping is found to be more effective than counter-force forearm bracing in improving the grip strength & functional outcome of patients with lateral epicondylitis.. However, there was no significant difference in reduction of pain between the two interventions in patients with lateral epicondylitis. These findings have implications in the management of patients with lateral epicondylitis
