Summary

It is aimed to investigate the immediate effect of vibrotactile stimulation on pain, sense and functionality in patients with lateral epicondylitis.

Conditions

  • Lateral Epicondylitis
  • Vibration Therapy
  • Physiotherapy

Interventions

OTHER

Vibrotactile stimulation

The intervention includes traditional physiotherapy and 20 minutes of vibrotactile device use. As traditional physiotherapy, 30 seconds of 8 repetitions of passive wrist stretching exercises, radial head mobilization and deep friction massage will be applied to the affected extremity. Afterwards, the Intellinetix Elbow Wearable Vibration Device providing vibration will be worn on the affected tissue. The patient will remain in a comfortable position on the treatment table with the affected extremity for 20 minutes (10 minutes × 2).

OTHER

Traditional physiotherapy

For traditional physiotherapy, passive stretching exercises, radial head mobilization and deep friction massage will be applied to the affected extremity. Stretching exercises will be performed on the wrist flexor and extensor muscles for 30 seconds and 8 repetitions. Mill's manipulation, described by James Cyriax, will be applied once for radial head mobilization. The treatment will be completed with a 5-minute deep friction massage, affecting the wrist extensor muscle tendons and their ending points.
