How to properly wear a brace for tennis elbow?
Apr 19,2022
The tennis elbow referred to in our daily life is "external humeral epicondylitis", although it is called tennis elbow, but it is not limited to people who play tennis. In tennis, when making a backhand swing, muscle contraction repeatedly pulls the tendon at the attachment site of the humerus, causing tendon degeneration or inflammation, which in turn causes pain. However, many of the actions we do in our daily life have the same mechanism that can lead to tennis elbows, such as lifting weights, using chainsaws, screwing screws or hugging babies. What kind of tennis elbow braces do we have in our daily life?
1. Tennis elbow compression straps or elbow pads
The principle of wearing sports protective gear is to press the pain point to effectively relieve the pulling burden of the muscles during strenuous exercise, so that the injured tendon will not be pulled during the exercise and continue to be injured.
This professional elbow protector has a silicone gasket on the inside and outside of the elbow joint to reduce the load of the elbow joint more effectively.
- Arm guard
This kind of protective gear pressurizes the upper arm and forearm and restricts the excessive rotation of the forearm by strengthening the part.
- Wrist brace
Professional wrist braces provide compression protection on the back and palm of the wrist to limit excessive movement of the wrist joint.
