Mobilization With Movement and Progressive Strengthening Exercises in Lateral Epicondylitis

Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the mobilization with movement and progressive strengthening exercises in individuals with lateral epicondylitis on VAS, PRTEE and Hand Grip strength . A randomized clinical trial was conducted at Bone and Joint center and Khyaban medical center, Rawalpindi. The sample size was 40 calculated through open-epi tool . The participants were divided into two groups each having 20 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was Purposive sampling for recruitment and group randomization using enveloped sealed. Only 20 to 60 years participants with chronic lateral epicondylitis included in that study . Tools used in this study are SELF STRUCTURE QUESTIONNAIRE, VAS visual analogue scale range is 0 TO 10 O is no pain 10 is unbearable pain , PRTEE patient ratted tennis elbow evaluation 15 questionnaire form 3 sub-scale total 100 scores 0 is best 100 is worst, hand held Dynamo-meter , Data was collected before and immediately after the application of interventions. Data analyzed through SPSS version 21.

Mobilization with movement lateral Glides and Conventional Physiotherapy

(The Mobilization with movement technique is(lateral glide) applied to the patient by a physiotherapist to patients at supine level position. First we identify pain free region each patients. The lateral humerus above the condyle of elbow joint are fixed by therapist. Then therapist ask to patients perform the active movement ten times. The same procedure repeats number of 3 sets, 10 number of repetition. The rest of interval fifteen to twenty seconds with in the sets Grip strength (pain Free Strength ) was evaluated in kilogram using a dynamometer. The measurements using dynamometer patients posture is erect sit position , the elbow at 90 degree flexion , shoulder would be abducted , rest of joint forearm and wrist in neutral during measurements. conventional therapy list of conventional physiotherapy are therapeutic ultrasound , deep transverse friction massage and stretching

OTHER

Progressive Resistance Exercises and Conventional Physiotherapy

4 STEPS Progressive resistive EXERCISES have a 4 step to application Step 1 Clenching fist strongly, resisted wrist Flexion, Extension, wrist rotation with a stick) Step 2 The therapeutic band exercised performed at wrist Flexion(WF), Wrist Extension(WE), Wrist Ulnar Deviation(WED) , and Wrist Radial Deviation(WRD).Step 3 Patient asked to perform combined wrist rotatory movements using e.g. table top as a support. Step 4 Soft ball compressing exercises, Transferring buttons from cup into another, Twisting a towel into the roll, Hand Rotating both directions at table AND CONVENTIONAL PHYSIOTHERAPY and list of conventional physiotherapy are therapeutic ultrasound , deep transverse friction massage and stretching
