Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The combination group performs the same eccentric training. In addition, patients wear a orthopedic elbow brace (Epi-Hit) in order to overcome the elbow pain.
This is a clinical trial, thus pain reduction on a visual analogue scale is the primary outcome parameter. Evaluation will be performed after 12 weeks of intervention.
