Brief summary (from the registry)
Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is a painful musculoskeletal condition caused by overuse. The condition is also called tennis elbow because it affects 50% of tennis players, notably beginners learning the one-handed backhand. Nonetheless, only 10% of all patients with LE play tennis. Lateral Epicondylitis (LE) or tennis elbow affects about 1-3% of general population. Muscle energy technique was developed by osteopathic physician, Fred Mitchell, Sr. It was refined and systematized by Fred Mitchell, Jr., and has continued to evolve with contributions from many individuals.
