Effect of Eccentric Stretching in Patients With Lateral Epicondylitis

In our study, deep friction massage will be performed by the researcher with the tip of the thumb, maintaining the pressure for 3-5 minutes in the posterior direction to the tenoosseous junction. The application will be performed 3 times a week for a total of 12 sessions for 4 weeks. After the deep friction massage, cold application will be made for 15 minutes. Simultaneously with the electrical stimulation of the affected arm, the patient will be asked to stretch for 5 seconds and rest for 5 seconds, and doing this 15 times will be considered 1 set. After 1 minute of rest, he will be asked to do this practice for 2 more sets, so 3 sets of 15 repetitions will be completed in total. A total of 12 sessions will be applied 3 days a week for 4 weeks. In our study, a home exercise program consisting of passive stretching and strengthening (concentric and eccentric) exercises will be applied.
