About

Muscles that are frequently injured in the extensor group are extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, and extensor digitorum communis. Injury of these muscles is seen as lateral epicondylitis in the clinic. Physiotherapy techniques are frequently applied in the management of diseases related to forearm extensor muscles such as lateral epicondylitis. Various orthoses such as lateral epicondylitis band, wrist orthosis, dynamic extensor brace are used for this. Studies have been conducted on pain, hand function and orthosis satisfaction of different types of lateral epicondylitis orthoses, and the number of studies investigating the effects on muscle activation is insufficient.Therefore, the aim of the study is to examine the effects of different types of orthoses used for the forearm extensor group on extensor muscle activation and upper limb functions.
