Multimodal Rehabilitation Approach in Patients of Lateral Epicondylitis
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
Literature is scarce for high quality evidence regarding multimodal rehabilitation in lateral epicondylitis. By making comparisons with the conventional treatment of patients with lateral epicondylitis, the current study aims to further establish the efficacy of the multimodal rehabilitation protocol through a RCT in order to generalize the results, using dynamometer as an additional tool for pre and post assessments against the outcome measures. Remarks A randomized control trial was conducted at Physical therapy departments of twin cities. The sample size was 40 calculated through G- power tool. The participants were divided into two interventional groups each having 20 participants. The study duration was eight months. Sampling technique applied was non- probability convience sampling. People of age 18-45 years, with localized point tenderness at lateral epicondyle with Mills, Cozen and Maudselys test positive were included in this research. Tools used in this study are Visual Analogue Scale, Dynamometer, Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Questionnaire. Data was collected before and immediately after the application of interventions. Data analyzed through SPSS version 23.
