All patients will be provided with information and an exercise sheet containing pictures on ulnar nerve gliding exercises. To monitor whether patients are performing the exercises correctly, they will be asked to come to the hospital once a week, where they will perform the exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist. In the exercise program, different positions will be held for 30 seconds, with a 1-minute rest between them, and the exercises will be performed twice a day .
Active_comparator: Kinesio Taping
It will be applied once a week for 3 weeks to the affected elbow by an experienced practitioner. During taping, the space correction technique will be used. In this technique, the kinesiological tape is applied with a hole cut in the center, slightly larger than the area to be treated .
Sham_comparator: Sham Taping
It will be applied in the same way as kinesiological taping with adhesive tape.
