Summary

Lateral elbow pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder in the working population due to overuse of the upper limb. This pathology has serious consequences for health, work performance and overall health burden.

In this injury, as in any musculoskeletal disorder, the peripheral nervous system is involved. Because of its course and corresponding motor and sensory innervation in the area, the radial nerve should be taken into consideration as a structure involved in elbow pain.

The aim of the present study is to demonstrate which of the neurodynamic techniques is more effective in lateral epicondylalgia, neural tension techniques or neural mobilization techniques.

Conditions

  • Lateral Epicondylitis \(Tennis Elbow\)

Interventions

OTHER

neural tensioning technique on radial nerve

the neural group tensioning technique: The test should be performed in approximately 10° of shoulder abduction. The examiner extends the elbow 2 seconds just to the range where the patient notices tension but no pain and then the elbow is flexed. Three sets of 6-8 swings are performed with 1 minute rest in between.

OTHER

Sliding technique on radial nerve

The mobilization maneuver begins by identifying the first resistance and the range of extension associated with pain. Maintaining elbow extension within the elastic region of resistance free of pain and/or paresthesia the examiner increases elbow extension and simultaneously allows the wrist to extend as necessary for the radial nerve branches in the forearm to glide proximally. The physical therapist then flexes the wrist while allowing the elbow to flex to cause the radial nerve excursion distally in the forearm.
