Lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) is a common musculoskeletal/sports injury. A plethora of physiotherapy techniques has been proposed in the management of LET. The exercise programme is the most common treatment in the management of LET. The optimal protocol of exercise programme is still unknown. The effectiveness of the exercise programme is low when it is applied as monotherapy. Therefore, exercise programme is combined with other physiotherapy modalities such as soft tissue techniques, external support, acupuncture, manual therapy and electrotherapy, in the treatment of LET. Future research is needed to determine which treatment strategy combined with exercise programme will provide the best results in LET rehabilitation.
外侧肘肌腱病（LET）是一种常见的肌肉骨骼/运动损伤。在LET的管理中已经提出了大量的物理治疗技术。运动计划是LET管理中最常见的治疗方法。运动计划的最佳方案仍然未知。当运动计划作为单一疗法应用时，其有效性较低。因此，在LET的治疗中，运动计划与其他物理治疗方式如软组织技术、外部支撑、针灸、手法治疗和电疗法相结合。未来需要进行研究以确定哪种与运动计划相结合的治疗策略将在LET康复中提供最佳效果。
