Filter by: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.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of motor learning training in addition to a 6-week conventional physiotherapy program on motor imagery, function pain and grip strength in individuals with chronic lateral epicondylitis. At the end of the study, it is aimed to develop a system for motor learning training in individuals with chronic lateral epicondylitis and to create a new exercise protocol.
Lateral epicondylitis is a pathologic condition of the musculotendinous system, characterized by the presence of pain at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus; it is a tendinopathy of the extensor muscles of the forearm, often caused by overuse or repetitive use of the arm, forced extension of the elbow, or direct trauma to the humeral epicondyle. This study evaluated the efficacy of Extracorporeal ShockWave Treatment (ESWT) combined with a supplemental nutraceutical treatment of Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, Vitamin C, and Manganese, compared with single treatment in patients with lateral epicondylitis in term of improvement in pain, functional capacity, muscle strength, and reduction of inflammation on ultrasound images. A clinical trial was conducted at the U.O.C. of "Recovery and Functional Rehabilitation" of A.O.U.P. "P. Giaccone" of Palermo from Marc 2024 to July 2024. Patients were randomized into 3 groups: in group "A", n° 5 sessions of focal ESWT were given every six days; in group "B", patients took daily for 30 days, supplemental nutraceutical treatment of Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, Vitamin C, and Manganese; and group "C", patients had combined treatment of ESWT (one session every six days for a total of five sessions) and nutraceutical supplementation (one administration per day for one month). All patients were evaluated at enrollment (T0), after one month, at the end of rehabilitation treatment (T1), and at a follow up 30 days after the end of treatment (T2). Researched will compare patients treated with ESWT or with nutraceutical treatment, and patients who had combined treatment to see if there are real differences in term of pain reduction and improved short- and long-term quality of life.
The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of cervical segmental mobilization on pain, functionality, grip strength and quality of life in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis. It was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study.
The effectiveness of scapular muscular training along with conventional physiotherapy on the improving the grip strength of the patients suffering with the lateral epicondylitis was assessed by diving 56 patinets in two grousp as Group A (n=28) was treated with conventional physiotherapy treatment and Group B (n=28) was treated with Scapular strengthening and conventional physiotherapy protocol.
Lateral epicondylitis is a common upper extremity disease that occurs with tenderness in the lateral epicondyle, the common attachment point of the wrist extensor muscles, and pain during resisted wrist extension. The main purpose of treating lateral epicondylitis is to reduce pain and increase functionality, but there is no accepted standard treatment method. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of kinesio tape and high intensity laser in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.
This study aimed to check and compare how well shock wave therapy works for tennis elbow, both in terms of symptoms and what we can see on ultrasound.
Painful condition of lateral epicondyle of the humerus characterized by the inflammation of the tendons during loading of the wrist extensor muscles is a common musculoskeletal presentation in men and women between 35 and 54 years of age. The above symptom is associated with a clinical diagnosis of lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET), also known as tennis elbow or lateral epicondylalgia the two effective treatment approaches for lateral epicondylitis are Nirschl exercises and Mulligan taping. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Nirschl exercises with or without Mulligan taping in treating lateral epicondylitis. The study design for this project employs a randomized controlled trial and a sample of individuals with lateral epicondylitis randomly assigned in one of the two groups i.e., Nirschl exercises only and Nirschl exercises with Mulligan taping. Nirschl exercises involve the eccentric strengthening of the wrist extensor muscles and forearm. The participants in both groups will receive Nirschl exercises while the second group will also receive Mulligan taping, which involves the application of tape to the lateral aspect of the elbow to offload stress during movement of the extensor tendons. Different outcome measures including pain intensity, functional disability, grip strength, range of motion will be evaluated using, PRTEE Scale, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Calibrated Jammer hand held dynamometer. Statistical analysis, including independent t-tests or chi-square tests, will be conducted to compare the outcomes between the two groups. The significance level will be set at p < 0.05. This study will contribute to the evidence base regarding the efficacy of Nirschl exercises and Mulligan taping in managing lateral epicondylitis and will help the clinicians and patients in deciding the best treatment approach for lateral epicondylitis.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate and compare the short-term efficacy of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and extra corporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT) on pain, sensitivity, handgrip strength, and functions in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (LE). Material and methods: Forty five participants (age range, 18 to 65 years) with unilateral elbow pain were randomized into two groups. HILT group (n = 22) and the ESWT group (n = 23). The HILT and ESWT were administered three times a week for three weeks, and each treatment was combined with exercises. All patients in both groups were evaluated with ultrasonography for common extensor tendon(CET) thickness. A visual analog scale (VAS), Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QDASH), and hand grip strength test were used to evaluate the patients before, one, and six weeks after treatment.
İt is aimed to examine the effect of chiropractic cervical manipulation on pain, functionality and grip strength in patients with lateral epicondylitis and whether it is preferable to placebo.
