Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We aimed to investigate the effect of scapular exercises on pain and functioning in patients with lateral epicondylitis to achieve a more accurate result by using little-used EMG between scapula and elbow muscles in the literature besides ongoing classical measurements and evaluations.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Thirty patients who participated in the study were randomly divided into two groups. First group (n=15), conventional physiotherapy program and exercise, second group (n=15), in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program and exercises, scapula exercises were applied. Patients were evaluated before and after treatment by VAS, algometer, hand dynamometer, EMG, UEFS, PRTEE and DASH questionnaires.

Experimantel Group

Electrotherapy program in our study 20 minutes, Hot-pack (HP) 20 minutes, 60-120 Hz frequency range 50-100 millisecond pulse time conventional TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and 5 minutes 1.5 watt / cm2 treatment dosage 1 MHz ' ultrasound (US) treatment was applied. Exercise program; Eccentric and concentric strengthening and stretching of ECBR and ECBL muscles, terminal elbow flexion and extension, forearm pronation and supination exercises were given. Electrotherapy was given as 15 sessions for 6 weeks, 2 or 3 days a week, 1 session per day, and 30 sessions for 6 weeks, 5 days per week. Fifteen of these exercise sessions were supervised by the physiotherapist in the hospital and the remaining 15 patients did not come to the clinic on their own. The experimantel group was given strengthening exercises of the upper trapezoidal, middle trapezoidal and serratus anterior muscles with extra scapula muscles.
