Adherence to therapeutic exercise for lateral elbow tendinopathy – A scoping review

Introduction: Exercise is effective in improving pain and function in lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET). One factor that may affect the efficacy of exercise is adherence to the prescribed exercise program. However, consensus around measurement and reporting of adherence in exercise trials for LET has not been formally addressed. This study aimed to discover gaps in the reporting of adherence to direct future research targeted at enhancing the way therapeutic exercise adherence is measured, reported, influenced, and evaluated in published studies of individuals with LET.
