Subscribe/Renew Journal
Aims and Objectives
1. To Compare Different Clinical Methods for the Treatment of Tennis Elbow. 2. to Check out which Modality is better for the Treatment of Tennis Elbow.
Hypothesis
There will be Significant Changes between the Results of the Two Modalities Used in the Treatment of Tennis Elbow.
Study Design
Experimental
Subjects
20 Subjects with Tennis Elbow Participated in the Study.
Methodology
Based on the Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Subjects were Included in the Study. Convenient Samplings was Done for Patients with Random Allocation into the Following Two Groups. Group A: (control Group) Ultrasonic Therapy (10 Patients). Group B: ( Experimental Group) Ultrasonic with Moist Heat (10 Patients).
Conclusion
The Present Study Provides Evidence that Moist Heat with Ultrasonic Therapy is more Beneficial in Treating Pain and Increasing Functional Activity in Tennis Elbow Patient and can be Used as a Safe Alternative in Patients with Lateral Epicondylitis.
