Abstract

The objective of this review article was to Get an insight into the role of exercise in LEP, along an evidence-informed approach of overview of current literature.There were studies comparing exercises as adjunct compared with other related conservative treatments either given alone or in combination. Specific stretching upon identifying ECRB, ED, ECRL or FCR muscle dysfunction, and a combination of concentric and eccentric strengthening with Cyriax physiotherapy of deep transverse friction massage and Mill’s manipulation may be attempted for use in a comprehensive rehabilitative approach for LEa.The evidence for exercise therapy is equivocal, and considering fewer adverse events and better functional restoration in people with LEa, exercises are a viable, feasible and a cost-effective treatment adjunct to be used in combination with other conservative treatment methods for pain relief, grip strength and functional status.
