Lateral epicondylalgia (LE) have been reported to occur at least once in a range of 40% to 50% of tennis players and in a large number of workers using hand tools. Despite high prevalence, the mechanisms underlying the development of tennis elbow are paradoxically misunderstood and suffer from a lack of scientific consensus. The characteristics of the handled tools (e.g. the grip size and the shape) are believed to be partly responsible for the occurrence of these disorders. However, the available material and technique for investigation and the proceedings studies did not gave evidence for this hypothesis. In this work, the idea that the size and shape of a tennis racket handle can affect the risk of developing tennis elbow was tested in three main steps. First, a controlled experimental approach was performed in order to quantify the forces exerted at the interface hand / handle when squeezing simply a handle. A special force ergometer has been developed to measure the forces at the hand/handle interface. This study enabled us to define an optimal size and shape (i.e. circular perimeter equal to 18% of the length of the hand) to perform a maximal squeezing force. In a second step, the optimal handle was tested during tennis strokes. Our results show that with and without fatigue, the grip force was lower for the optimal handle compared to bigger or smaller handle. Finally, in a last step, a biomechanical model of the hand was used to assess the impact of the tennis racket grip size on the forces applied on muscles affected by tennis elbow during a simulation. Our results suggest that the optimal grip size reduces muscle tensions of hand extensor muscle.
