About this study
Official title: Effects of Scooping Mobilization With and Without Scapulothoracic Mobilization in Pain Range of Motion and Activities of Daily Living in Patients of Lateral Epicondylalgia
Lateral epicondylalgia is well known musculoskeletal disorder now a day. Lateral epicondylalgia is a disorder in which pain and tenderness at lateral part of elbow. This study is targeting the scapulothoracic mobilization and scooping mobilization at lateral epicondylalgia. This study is single-blinded Randomized Clinical Trial will be conducted in Fatima memorial Hospital and Bajwa hospital Lahore. Non-probability convenience sampling will be used with 38 Participants involved in this study is with age of 18 to 45 with presence of pain and tenderness around lateral epicondyle, positive Cozens test and maudsley test, scapular dyskinesia, pain on resisted elbow extension, wrist extension and gripping activities. In this study, one group is treated with scooping mobilization with scapulothoracic mobilization. Second group is treated with scooping mobilization alone. The participants will be randomized into two Groups by computer generated randomization software. Outcomes measures which are used in this study is Numeric pain rating scale for pain, goniometer for range of motion and patient related tennis elbow evaluation for activities of daily livings for patients of lateral epicondylalgia.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Scooping MobilizationOther
Group A treated with only scooping mobilization with frequency of 2 to 3 times in a week for consecutive 4 weeks.
Scooping Mobilization with Scapulothoracic mobilizationOther
Group B treated with scooping mobilization with scapulothoracic mobilization, which was given 2 to 3 times in a week for consecutive 4 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Scooping Mobilization | Active comparator | Group A treated with scooping mobilization only. Receives: Other: Scooping Mobilization |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Patient Related Tennis Elbow Evaluation Scale
It consist of two subscales, one is pain and second is functional subscale (specific activities: 6 and usual activities . The pain scale is scored out of 50 by summing five items. The function subscale (six items) and usual function subscale (four items) are summed divided by two to create the Function Subscale. The pain score is added to the function score to determine the final score. A score of 100 indicates the highest level of commitment, while a score of 0 indicates no involvement at all..
Measured: 4th weeks
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
It rates from 0 to 10. 0 means no pain while 10 means maximum pain.
Measured: 4th weeks
Range of Motion of Elbow
Goniometer is to check ranges of elbow flexion and extension
Measured: 4th weeks
Range of Motion of Wrist
Goniometer is to check ranges of wrist flexion and extension
Measured: 4th weeks
Readings of scapulometer to measure scapular dyskinesia in cm
The medial boundary and inferior angle prominence in relation to the thorax can be measured with a Scapulometer. The minimal detectable change (MDC) was determined to be 1.2-1.3 mm.
Measured: 4th weeks
