A Comparative Study to Analyse the Effectiveness of Deep Friction Massage & Deep Friction Massage with Kinesiology Taping in Distal Triceps Tendinitis among Bodybuilders & Weightlifters

Abstract

Background
The distal triceps tendon is a tough, flexible tissue that attaches the triceps muscle atthe back of
the upper arm to the elbow bone. It helps triceps muscles to straighten the arm. The distal
triceps tendon attaches approximately 12.14mm distal to the olecranon tip, where it has a width
of approx. 40mm. The bony footprint is approx. 460mm2 with an average length of approx.
21mm & a width of 23mm. The caput longum & medial coverage distally & form the
superficial part of the triceps tendon, which attaches directly to the medial aspect of the olecranon
& laterally partially converges with the superficial fascia o
