    Abstract

    Lateral elbow tendinopathy (or Tennis Elbow) is a prevalent work-related condition that affects a person’s ability to participate in meaningful activities. It is managed using various clinic-based hand therapy treatments, but these rarely consider the work environment. This research investigated the impact of adding a workplace-based hand therapy intervention to standard hand therapy on clinical and return-to-work outcomes for injured workers. The research findings contribute new evidence to support workplace-based hand therapy educational interventions.
