Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Objective: To compare the effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization using Ergon Technique on pain, grip strength and functional activity in patients with lateral epicondylitis.
Methodology: 72 individuals with lateral epicondylitis pre-diagnosed by an orthopedic surgeon, are assessed from Sikander Medical Complex, Gujranwala. After fulfilling the inclusion criteria, the participants are randomly divided into two groups, 36 participants receiving IASTM using Ergon Tools and 36 participants received conventional physical therapy. Both groups receive treatment 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Outcome measures are pain (VAS), grip strength (handheld dynamometer), and functional mobility (PRTEE) collected at the baseline, 1st week, and 4th week.
