Background: No consensus exists as to which are the most effective methods to treat the symptoms associated with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET). Research has suggested that joint mobilizations may assist in the recovery of patients with LET.
Purpose: To determine if joint mobilizations are effective in improving pain, grip strength, and disability in adults with LET.
Conclusion: There is compelling evidence that joint mobilizations have a positive effect on both pain and/or functional grip scores across all time frames compared to control groups in the management of LET.
