简要总结
Lateral epicondylitis is a degenerative tendinosis of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle and is the most common work/sports-related chronic musculoskeletal problem affecting the elbow. This randomized, double-blinded, controlled study aimed to evaluate the short term and residual effectiveness of the Kinesio taping method on pain, grip force, quality of life, and functionality.
详细描述
Fifty patients diagnosed with chronic unilateral lateral epicondylitis with a symptom duration of at least 12 weeks. The study group received a true inhibitor Kinesio taping while the control group received sham taping for the first four weeks. In both groups, progressive stretching and strengthening exercises were given as a home program for 6 weeks. Patients were assessed with the numerical rating scale (NRS), Cyriax resistive muscle test evaluation, maximal grip strength, PRTEE (Patient- Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation), and SF-36 (Short Form-36) by the first assessor who was blinded to taping types.

结局指标
主要结局
numerical rating scale
时间窗: 1 year
The numerical rating scale (NRS) was used to evaluate the pain level of the patients included in the study. It is a one-dimensional scale consisting of 11 items that measure pain intensity in adults and is a segmented - intermittent numerical version of the visual analogue scale (VAS).
次要结局
- Maximal Isometric Handgrip Strength(1 year)
- The Patient-rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation(PRTEE)(1 year)
- 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)(1 year)
- resisted muscle test evaluation(1 year)
