A group of 34 patients with later elbow tendinopathy was randomly allocated to Group A (n = 11) who underwent eccentric training, Group B had eccentric-concentric and Group C who had eccentric-concentric and isometric training. All patients received 5 treatments per week for 4 weeks. Pain was evaluated using a visual analog scale and function using a visual analog scale and pain-free grip strength at the end of the 4-week course of treatment (week 4) and 1 month (week 8) after the end of treatment.<h4>Results</h4>The eccentric-concentric training combined with isomentric contractions produced the largest effect in the reduction of pain and improvement of function at the end of the treatment (P < .05) and at any of the follow-up time points (P < .05).<h4>Conclusion</h4>The eccentric-concentric training combined with isomentric contractions was the most effective treatment. Future well-designed studies are needed to confirm the results of the present trial.<h4>Level of evidence</h4>III.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":4.574710978503383,"endowment":4.574710978503383,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"27823901","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2547685058","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":6.4705,"citation_percentile":0.97135458,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2017,"count":3},{"year":2018,"count":11},{"year":2019,"count":10},{"year":2020,"count":14},{"year":2021,"count":11},{"year":2022,"count":13},{"year":2023,"count":9},{"year":2024,"count":13},{"year":2025,"count":9},{"year":2026,"count":3}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.elsevier.com/tdm/userlicense/1.0/","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0894113016301302?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0894113016301302?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jht.2016.09.001","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27823901","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Tendon Structure and Treatment","Shoulder Injury and Treatment","Sports injuries and prevention","Adult","Elbow Tendinopathy","Exercise Therapy","Female","Hand Strength","Humans","Isometric Contraction","Male","Visual Analog Scale"],"mesh_terms":["Elbow Tendinopathy","Adult","Exercise Therapy","Female","Humans","Isometric Contraction","Male","Hand Strength","Visual Analog Scale"],"keywords":["Concentric","Eccentric","Eccentric training","Isometric exercise","Elbow","Contraction (grammar)","Physical medicine and rehabilitation","Mathematics","Medicine","Physical therapy","Anatomy","Physics","Geometry","Internal medicine","Tennis Elbow","Isometric","Lateral Epicondylitis","Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy Eccentric-concentric Training"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-19T20:53:43.126906Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
