Lateral Epicondylitis - Tennis Elbow
Lateral Epicondylitis is a common tendonitis (inflammation of a tendon) that occurs from repetitive movements with gripping and wrist extension.1 It is given the name of Tennis Elbow due to the motion tennis players use. The common backhand movement that they use to hit a tennis ball with a racket includes repetitive forearm pronation and wrist extension. However, tennis players rarely experience lateral epicondylitis.2
