Repetitive arm motions
Activities such as playing tennis, gardening, painting, typing, or using hand tools that involve repetitive wrist extension or gripping can strain the tendons and lead to tennis elbow.
Improper technique
Poor technique or form during sports or physical activities can increase the risk of developing tennis elbow by placing excessive stress on the tendons.
Age and gender
Tennis elbow is more common in individuals aged 30 to 50 years old, and men and women are equally affected.
Occupational factors
Certain occupations that require repetitive arm movements or gripping actions, such as plumbing, carpentry, or cooking, may increase the risk of developing tennis elbow.
- Pain and tenderness: Persistent pain and tenderness on the outer part of the elbow, particularly when gripping objects or performing wrist extension movements.
- Weakness: Weakness in the hand or wrist, making it difficult to perform tasks that require gripping or lifting objects.
- Stiffness: Stiffness or limited range of motion in the elbow joint, especially after periods of rest or inactivity.
- Radiating pain: Pain may radiate from the elbow down the forearm or into the wrist, particularly with certain movements or activities.
