Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate initial effects of the non-elastic taping technique on grip strength and EMG in female with lateral epicondylalgia.
Methods: Twenty-two participants (mean age SD, 52.8±10.2 years) with chronic lateral epicondylalgia (mean duration±SD, 13.1±9.9 months) participated in a placebo control study of an elbow taping technique. Outcome measures were pain-free grip and EMG taken before, immediately after application of tape.
Results: The experimental group were more significantly improved grip strength and muscle activity of forearm than control group.
Conclusion: This study show that non-elastic taping technique is beneficial intervention for increase grip strength and EMG in female with lateral epicondylalgia.
