This problem affects 1% to 3% of the population. The symptom of tennis elbow is a sore elbow or a sore to the arm leading to nerve compression syndrome. The aim of this study is to design and develop a massage therapy device for arm in order to help tennis elbow patient and myofascial pain. This paper uses ischemic compression massage for designing massage therapy device and the distance of pressing on the muscle of the arm according to physician and rehabilitation doctor. This study of massage therapy device investigates and compares the force and weight between different massage modes, evaluates pain score rating by facial scale from 10 healthy subjects. The findings show that the massage therapy device for arm can work as desired. © 2017 IEEE.
