ABSTRACT
Background and objectives: Lateral epicondylitis (LE) or tennis elbow is one of the most common lesions of the arm. Current physical therapy management for lateral epicondylitis is aiming to reduce pain and improve grip strength.
Aims and objectives: The purpose of the study was to find out effectiveness of Mulligan ability in subjects with lateral epicondylitis
Methods: 20 subjects of lateral epicondylitis were selected for the study and randomly divided into two groups of 10 subjects each. Group A received mulligan mobilization with movement and Group B received myofascial release therapy. Both the groups were followed by ultrasound therapy. Pain was measured by visual analogue scale and grip strength was measured by simple hand dynamometer. The present study concludes that the patients those who received mulligan mobilization with movement and myofascial release therapy, their pain was reduced and grip strength was improved and was measured by visual analogue scale and simple hand dynamometer.
