About this study

The effects of Muscle Energy Technique intervention have been investigated in recent studies in Lateral Epicondylitis. Some studies have been conducted about mills manipulation and Muscle Energy Technique but according to the literature review there is no study exist to determine the effects of Mill's Manipulation along with Muscle Energy Technique in Lateral epicondylitis. Because of this reason, further research required to find out the effects of Mill's Manipulation along with Muscle Energy Technique in pain, Range of motion and disability in lateral epicondylitis. So the aim of the study is to determine whether these techniques are effective and should be incorporated frequently in a clinical setting in relation to the conventional therapy. This study will help the clinician for the identification of the better and quick treatment regime which will have no adverse effects and risks and making them more effective, efficient for the patient with lateral epicondylitis.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Mill's ManipulationOther

    Mill's Manipulation: The therapist should apply a high-velocity low-amplitude thrust accompanied by a single application . Patients will be treated 3 times a week for 2 consecutive weeks.

    Conventional Therapy:

    Ultrasound therapy: Frequency: 1Mhz Pulse ultrasound: 1:4 Intensity: 1.5 W/cm2 Duration: 5 min.

    Stretching of Wrist Extensors: 15 sec hold, 10 stretches/session/day. Wrist extensors Isometric: resistance 5 to 10 seconds, 15 contractions/ session/day.

    Patients will be treated 3 times a week for 2 consecutive weeks.

  • Mill's Manipulation and Muscle Energy TechniqueOther

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. NPRS

    The numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) measure the subjective intensity of pain. NPRS is an eleven point scale from 0 to 10 is the most commonly used version which has good test-retest reliability ( r= .79-.96). The NPRS is a reliable and valid pain assessment scale in LE.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Goniometer

    Universal goniometer is use to measure wrist ROM in flexion , extension, radial deviation, ulnar deviation, forearm pronation and forearm supination.The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) ranged from 0.945 to 0.973 which are classified for the goniometer measurements.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  3. PRFEQ

    The PRTEE, formerly known as the Patient-Rated Forearm Evaluation Questionnaire (PRFEQ), is a 15-item questionnaire designed to measure forearm pain and disability in patients with lateral epicondylitis (also known as "tennis elbow"). The PRTEE allows patients to rate their levels of tennis elbow pain and disability from 0 to 10, and consists of 2 subscales: 1) PAIN subscale: (0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable) Pain - 5 items 2) FUNCTION subscale: (0 = no difficulty, 10 = unable to do) Specific activities - 6 items , Usual activities - 4 items . Test-retest reliability of Korea version PRTEE was good total ICC= .962 (CI=.922-,982). Therefore, it is a useful measure to evaluate the conditions of patients with lateral epicondylitis.

    Measured: 2 weeks
