Tennis elbow

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tennis elbow or archer's elbow is a condition where the outer part of the elbow becomes sore and tender. It is often associated with playing tennis, golf or other kinds of sport that use a racquet.

The following can cause the condition:

  • Only using part of the elbow; this can happen with mouse/keyboard users (called Repetitive strain injury), or with certain forms of mountain climbing.
  • Keeping the body in a bad tenure/positioning
  • Wrong technique in sports that use clubs or racquets (such as tennis or golf)
