Recent research at NISMAT presented at the 2009 American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Meeting suggests an effective treatment for tennis elbow using wrist exercises with an inexpensive rubber bar (the TheraBand FlexBar). Measures of strength, pain and disability all improved markedly in subjects who performed the FlexBar exercise in conjunction with standard therapy versus a group who performed standard therapy alone.
