Comparison of Effectiveness of Movement with Mobilization Using Belt and Therapeutic Eccentric Exercise in Patients with chronic Lateral Epicondylitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: Comparison of Effectiveness of Movement with Mobilization (MWM) Using Belt and Therapeutic Eccentric Exercise (TEE) in Patients with chronic Tennis Elbow. Materials and Methods: Design. Randomized clinical trial. Subjects. 30 chronic tennis elbow patients. Intervention: Group A (N=15) had received Mobilization with Movement (MWM) using belt. Group B (n=15) was treated and Therapeutic Eccentric Exercise (TEE). All patients received three treatment sessions per week for six weeks (18 treatment sessions). Outcomes: Pain was evaluated using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and functional status was evaluated by Patient Rated Elbow Evaluation Questionnaire (PREEQ) which were recorded at base line and at the end of six week. Results: Both the Movement with Mobilization using belt and Therapeutic Eccentric Exercise were found to be significantly effective in reducing pain and improvement functional status. The Therapeutic eccentric exercise Program resulted in greater improvement in comparison to Movement with Mobilization using belt. Conclusion: Therapeutic Eccentric Exercise program is effective treatment choice for management tennis elbow as well as Movement with Mobilization.
