Effectiveness of Scapular Muscle Training in Improving Grip Strength Among Lateral Epicondylitis Patients

May 24, 2024 updated by: Muhammad Naveed Babur
The effectiveness of scapular muscular training along with conventional physiotherapy on the improving the grip strength of the patients suffering with the lateral epicondylitis was assessed by diving 56 patinets in two grousp as Group A (n=28) was treated with conventional physiotherapy treatment and Group B (n=28) was treated with Scapular strengthening and conventional physiotherapy protocol.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Left/ Right affected arm
Diagnostic test: Left/ Right affected arm
Therapeutic exercises: eccentric and concentric exercises and wrist isometrics 10 repetitions of 3 sets with 10 seconds interval
