简要总结
This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of neuromuscular reeducation versus friction massage in lateral epicondylitis.
详细描述
Participants will be recruited into their respective groups using a coin toss method. Lateral epicondylitis will be assessed using the following tests:
Cozen's test Maudsley's test Mills test

研究组 & 干预措施
Neuromuscular reeducation
Group A will recieve treatment of ultrasound followed by neuromuscular re-education+ strengthning exercises For the 1st two weeks; cross friction massage with active movement will be performed.
For the next two weeks; longitudinal friction massage with active movement will be performed.
干预措施: Neuromuscular re-education(experimental) (Procedure)
Friction massage
Group B will receive standard treatment of ultrasound followed by friction massage+ strengthning exercises For the 1st two weeks; cross friction massage alone will be performed. For the last two weeks; longitudinal friction massage alone will be performed.
干预措施: Friction massage(standard protocol) (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
Lateral Epicondylitis Pain
时间窗: Variable will be assessed at pre and post treatment for the total interval of 4 weeks.
It will be measured using numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) in which the subjects select a number ranging from 0-10 according to their intensity of pain. '0' score indicates no pain while '10' indicates worst pain experienced.
Range of Motion
时间窗: Variable will be assessed at pre and post treatment for the total interval of 4 weeks.
Range of motion will be measured using goniometer. An instrument with movable and stationary arm used to measure range of motion at joint. It will be used to measure range of motion of flexion and extension at elbow joint, forearm pronation and supination, and flexion, extension, radial deviation, ulnar deviation at wrist joint.
