Sažetak
Lateral elbow tendinopathy (LT) is the most common chronic painful condition affecting the elbow in general population. Research has shown that an eccentric exercise program can be effective modality for treating tendinopathies. The purpose of this review was to determine the effects of eccentric contractions (EC) in comparison to other types of contractions and other therapeutic approaches. Searches were performed using the electronic databases Medline, Scopus and Web of Science. The basic selection criterion was a research methodology in which at least one group of subjects used eccentric contractions in comparison to other methods of contractions or therapy. In conclusion, eccentric contractions are useful method of treating LT in 12 weak period. However, it cannot be stated with certainty whether EC exercises are more or less effective than other forms of therapeutic exercises or specific physiotherapeutic techniques.
