ASSESSMENT OF TENNIS ELBOW USING THE MARCY WEDGE-PRO

The Marcy Wedge-Pro (MWP), a device used in training by tennis players , was employed in the assessment of tennis elbow. The MWP was used to measure the ability of patients to perform wrist extension exercises, since pain resulting from this specific activity is a prominent sympto m of the condition. The MWP results were compared with clinical measur es and found to identify accurately patients who responded to treatmen t (P < 0.05). This study illustrates the potential of the MWP to asses s tennis elbow quantitatively.
