Brief Summary   NEED FOR THE STUDY
It has been suggested that assessing scapular muscle impairments to evaluate any weakness should be an important component of the evaluation of individuals with LE. Since the act of gripping or lifting a weight requires not only gripping action of your forearm muscles but also the action of the scapular muscles and rotator cuff, it is reasonable that weakness in these muscles will place more stress on the wrist / forearm muscles. Several studies have shown that focusing on the position of the scapula with a proper activation of scapular and rotator cuff muscles increased grip strength and reduced pain in people with lateral epicondylalgia. Previous studies have reported that a 25-35 % decrease in shoulder and scapular strength in individuals resulted in lateral epicondylalgia.In a healthy population of throwing athletes, fatigue of the scapular stabilisers has been shown to produce alterations of elbow kinematics implying that scapular muscle fatigue could predispose individuals to throwing injuries at the elbow region. Reported poor long-term outcomes for the nonsurgical management of individuals with LE suggest a less-than-optimal rehabilitation process. Hence knowledge of scapular muscle function in a working population of individuals with LE may help to further refine conservative management of lateral epicondylitis.
