Comparison of Mobilization with Movement and Soft Tissue Mobilization on Pain Severity, Hand Grip Strength and Functional Activity in Tennis Elbow Patients
Keywords:
Movement, soft tissue, pain, grip, hand strength functional status, tennis elbowAbstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM
Lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow is a pain pattern most commonly seen in tennis player due to forceful repetitive movements in a wrong way. So, the Objective was to determine the comparison of mobilization with movement and soft tissue mobilization on pain, grip strength and functional activity in patients with tennis elbow.
METHODOLOGY: In this Randomized Controlled Trial, Non probability sampling technique was used. Thirty tennis players having lateral epicondylitis pain were included in the study. Two interventions were used i.e. Mobilization with movement and soft tissue mobilization. Pain, Muscle power and function activity were 3 outcome measure in both groups.
RESULTS: In both groups the mean age of the participants was 24.30 ± SD 3.01. There was a significant Mean difference in the pain scores for MWM (5.34) and Soft Tissue Mobilization (3.74) after treatment. P value is significant for both group but there was greater difference with group MWM
CONCLUSIONS: The present study concluded that Mobilization with movement has greater effect than the Soft Tissue Mobilization in relieving pain and improving Hand grip strength and functional activity in patients with tennis elbow.
