About this study
Official title: Thoracic Mobilization Versus Counterforce Forearm Brace in Treatment of Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy (Randomized Control Trail)
The study aim to compare the effect of thoracic mobilization versus counterforce forearm brace in treatment of LET.
Detailed Description:
Conditions: Lateral elbow tendinopathy Keywords: LET, Tennis elbow, Thoracic mobilization \& counterforce forearm brace.
- Conditions
- Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy
- Being tested
- counterforce forearm brace, thoracic immobilization
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
counterforce forearm braceDevice
a flexible band that fits around the proximal forearm, applying pressure to underlying tissues during activity to potentially reduce acceleration forces and alleviate pain associated with conditions like lateral epicondylitis.
thoracic immobilizationProcedure or surgery
the methods and devices used to restrict movement of the thoracic spine, which is the upper and middle part of the back.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental group | Experimental | Received counterforce forearm brace and conventional therapy. Receives: Device: counterforce forearm brace |
| Control group | Active comparator | Received thoracic mobilization and conventional therapy. Receives: Procedure: thoracic immobilization |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
consists of a 10 cm (or 100 mm) horizontal or vertical line, where 0 indicates no pain, and 10 (or 100 mm) represent the worst imaginable pain
Measured: 4 weeks
