Interventions
Physiotherapy Program
A 15-session program (5 days a week) consisting of ultrasound (1.5 W/cm2, 1 MHz for 3 min), TENS (15 min), cold pack (15 min), eccentric strengthening exercises for wrist extensors, and deep friction massage (5 min).
Kinesiotaping (KT)
Applied at the end of each PT session using forearm muscle inhibition and fascia correction techniques. Tapes remained on the elbow for approximately 345 hours in total.
Wrist Joint Rest Splint
Used 6-8 hours a day during the 15-session program. Fixed at a 5° to 10° extension to reduce loading stress.
