Efficacy of Scaphoid Mobilization on Pain, Physical Function and Kinesiophobia in Patients with Lateral Epicondylitis
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Lateral epicondylitis is musculoskeletal condition involves the origin of extensor carpi radials brevis, leading to pain on resisted wrist extension. The regional interdependence model focuses on impairments present in proximal or distal segments and hence effect of scaphoid mobilisation was studied in management of lateral epicondylitis. Aim And Objectives: To find out the effect of scaphoid mobilization in lateral epicondylitis on A) pain & physical function using patient rated tennis elbow evaluation questionnaire B) Kinesiophobia using Tampa scale. Methodology: A pre-post experimental design with 30 subjects aged 18-35 years (24.4 + 4.687), unilateral lateral epicondylitis were selected. PRTEE & Tampa scale was noted before intervention. Total 9 Treatment sessions were given in 3 weeks. Maitland mobilization Grade 1-2 for scaphoid was given. PRTEE and Tampa scale was noted after 3 weeks of intervention. Results: Repeated measure ANOVA was done by comparing mean values of pre-pain (27.4 + 3.874) with post-pain (23.2667 + 4.185) on PRTEE scale is statistically significant (p value <0.0001). Comparing mean values of function pre (25.7666 + 4.974) with post (22.5333 + 5.257) on PRTEE scale is statistically significant (p value <0.0001). Comparing mean values of pre- total score (53.1666 + 6.909) with post-total score (45.4666 + 8.191) on PRTEE scale is statistically significant (p value <0.0001). Comparison of mean values pre (39.4 + 11.316) and post (39.4 + 11.316) for Tampa Scale is considered extremely significant (p value <0.0001) Conclusion: Scaphoid mobilisation is effective in improving pain and physical function in patients with lateral epicondylitis.
