Brief Summary

This study will help to determine the immediate and long term effects of Mulligan mobilization with and without myofascial release on pain, grip strength and function in patients with lateral epicondylitis

Detailed Description

Tennis elbow patients usually experience diminished grip strength, decreased functional activities, and increased pain, all of which can have a significant impact on everyday activities. Tennis elbow can also be caused by excessive elbow use. The following is a description of the basic clinical manifestation of tennis elbow, as well as the most commonly reported symptoms of people suffering from the condition: Tennis elbow is easily identified and confirmed with a test that produces discomfort, palpable tenderness over the lateral epicondyle facet, resisted wrist extension, resisted middle finger extension, and passive wrist flexion. Tennis elbow is a common elbow disease caused by excessive use. Furthermore, despite some difficulty, the patient must be able to extend his or her wrist and middle finger. The goal of this study is to find out how Mulligan Mobilization with and without myofascial release affects pain, grip strength, and function in people with lateral epicondylitis in the short and long term.

Mulligan mobilisation and myofascial release have both been shown to be effective treatments for lateral epicondylitis. The purpose of this study is to look into the short-and long-term advantages of myofascial release and Mulligan mobilisation. No research has been conducted to evaluate whether mulligan mobilisation with or without myofascial release benefits people with lateral epicondylitis in terms of pain, grip strength, and overall function. This study will not only help therapists come up with treatment goals for lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, but it will also add credibility to the existing body of literature.
