Comparative Effects of Sustained Stretch and Mobilization With Movement in Patient With Tennis Elbow

Официальное название

Comparative Effects of Sustained Stretch and Mobilization With Movement on Pain, Range of Motion, Muscle Strength and Functional Disability in Patient With Tennis Elbow.

Обзор

Tennis elbow, clinically known as lateral epicondylitis, is a prevalent musculoskeletal issue marked by pain and tenderness on the outer part of the elbow. It primarily affects the extensor tendon at the lateral epicondyle and is commonly linked to repetitive arm movements and overuse. Various treatment options are available for this condition, with two notable methods being sustained stretching and Mobilization with Movement (MWM). Sustained stretching involves holding the affected muscles and tendons in an extended position for a prolonged time to ease muscle tightness and enhance flexibility. Conversely, MWM integrates specific joint movements with the active involvement of the patient to improve joint mobility and reduce pain. Muscle strength plays a crucial role in the overall function of the upper limb, and enhancing this can positively affect daily activities. Furthermore, functional disability indicates how tennis elbow impacts a person's capacity to carry out everyday tasks.

Подробное описание

This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Riphah Rehab center over duration of eight months. The sample size will consist of 58 participants. Participants which meet the inclusion criteria will be taken through non-probability convenience sampling technique. 29 Participants will be assigned to Group A 29 to group B. Data will be collected using various assessment tools, including NPRS, ULFI, Universal Goniometer, Hand Held Dynamometer. Pre-intervention assessments will be conducted for groups. Data analysis will be performed by using SPSS 26 software.

Вмешательства

• Другое Mobilization with Movement
  Mobilization with Movement (MWM) is a manual therapy technique that combines active, patient-directed movements with passive joint mobilization to treat tennis elbow. To find joint restrictions or dysfunctions, a comprehensive patient assessment is the first step in the process. While the patient was in a supine position with the elbow fully extended and the forearm pronated, the therapist applied a sustained lateral glide of the forearm and stabilized the distal portion of the arm. While the pa
• Другое Sustained Stretch
  The basic concept of stretching involves lengthening the tendon during a state of relaxation. To stretch the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis tendon, the following position should be adopted: the elbow should be extended, the forearm in a pronated position, the wrist flexed, and the wrist should also be ulnar deviated, based on the patient's comfort level. This position should be maintained for 30 to 45 seconds and repeated three times before and after exercises in each treatment session, with a 3
