Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to compare the mobilization with movement and progressive strengthening exercises in individuals with lateral epicondylitis on VAS, PRTEE and Hand Grip strength . A randomized clinical trial was conducted at Bone and Joint center and Khyaban medical center, Rawalpindi. The sample size was 40 calculated through open-epi tool . The participants were divided into two groups each having 20 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was Purposive sampling for recruitment and group randomization using enveloped sealed. Only 20 to 60 years participants with chronic lateral epicondylitis included in that study . Tools used in this study are SELF STRUCTURE QUESTIONNAIRE, VAS visual analogue scale range is 0 TO 10 O is no pain 10 is unbearable pain , PRTEE patient ratted tennis elbow evaluation 15 questionnaire form 3 sub-scale total 100 scores 0 is best 100 is worst, hand held Dynamo-meter , Data was collected before and immediately after the application of interventions. Data analyzed through SPSS version 21.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: GROUP A
GROUP A
 Other: Mobilization with movement lateral Glides and Conventional Physiotherapy

(The Mobilization with movement technique is(lateral glide) applied to the patient by a physiotherapist to patients at supine level position.

First we identify pain free region each patients. The lateral humerus above the condyle of elbow joint are fixed by therapist. Then therapist ask to patients perform the active movement ten times. The same procedure repeats number of 3 sets, 10 number of repetition. The rest of interval fifteen to twenty seconds with in the sets Grip strength (pain Free Strength ) was evaluated in kilogram using a dynamometer. The measurements using dynamometer patients posture is erect sit position , the elbow at 90 degree flexion , shoulder would be abducted , rest of joint forearm and wrist in neutral during measurements.

conventional therapy list of conventional physiotherapy are therapeutic ultrasound , deep transverse friction massage and stretching


Other: Progressive Resistance Exercises and Conventional Physiotherapy
4 STEPS Progressive resistive EXERCISES have a 4 step to application Step 1 Clenching fist strongly, resisted wrist Flexion, Extension, wrist rotation with a stick) Step 2 The therapeutic band exercised performed at wrist Flexion(WF), Wrist Extension(WE), Wrist Ulnar Deviation(WED) , and Wrist Radial Deviation(WRD).Step 3 Patient asked to perform combined wrist rotatory movements using e.g. table top as a support. Step 4 Soft ball compressing exercises, Transferring buttons from cup into another, Twisting a towel into the roll, Hand Rotating both directions at table AND CONVENTIONAL PHYSIOTHERAPY and list of conventional physiotherapy are therapeutic ultrasound , deep transverse friction massage and stretching

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Visual Analogue Scale [ Time Frame: 1st Day ]
    A Visual Analogue Scale is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured.The VAS is pain numeric scale to find out pain intensity and pain level perceived by patients. The VAS is a subjective type pain scale measured the acute and chronic level pain. Score are marked between no pain and worst pain ( zero to 10)

  2. Patients Related Tennis Elbow Evaluation [ Time Frame: 1st Day ]
    Measurements the patient functional status its 15 questionnaires In PRTEE First subscale is The Pain Subscale detail is 5 items Maximum or best score is 0 and worst score is 50 The Second Subscale or PRTEE is The Specific Activities detail is 6 items with finest score is 0 and least score is 60 The third one subscale of PRTEE the Usual Activities sub part 4 items with superior score is 0 and least score is 40. Third Fourth Part of PRTEE is The Function Subscale detail is performance bases specific activities and usual or regular activities Add up to specific or regular activities divided by 2 Maximum best score or prime score is 0 and least score is 50 Total detail Score of PRTEE is = Pain Subscale + Function Subscale Best Score= 0 Worst Score = 100 (pain and disability contribute equally to score)

  3. Hand Dynamometer Maximum Grip Strength [ Time Frame: 1st day ]

    A dynamometer with high accuracy and sensitivity has recently been developed to assess grip strength. It provides maximal isometric grip strength measured.Many sports activities hand dynamometer is used to find out athlete performance around hand and forearm muscle strength.

    Sports, like baseball and tennis, where the hand is utilized for tossing or lifting make use of dynamometers to test hand strength
