Brief Summary:
The purpose of this research study will be to assess the effects of a compressive tissue flossing CTF program on the symptoms of lateral elbow tendinopathy in United States service members Dependent variables will be the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale DVPRS decrease their Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation PRTEE score increase their maximal grip strength in the affected upper extremity UE Measurements will be taken at baseline immediately after the first CTF intervention and at the 1-week follow-up for a total of 3 measurements
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this research study will be to assess the effects of a compressive tissue flossing CTF program on the symptoms of lateral elbow tendinopathy in United States service members I hypothesize that tissue flossing with a band for a 2-minute session daily will decrease patients report of pain on the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale DVPRS decrease their Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation PRTEE score increase their maximal grip strength in the affected upper extremity UE Measurements will be taken at baseline immediately after the first CTF intervention and at the 1-week follow-up for a total of 3 measurements If this method is shown to acutely decrease the symptoms of LET it would give occupational therapists a potential home exercise program that is easy to initiate and only takes 2 minutes per day for patients to perform This could prove to be an effective and low-cost method for service members to treat elbow pain symptoms This technique could be used in austere environments where traditional musculoskeletal rehabilitation may not be available
Specific Aim 1 Assess the acute effects of compressive tissue flossing on the symptoms of lateral elbow tendinopathy in United States service members
I will accomplish this by recording the patients report of pain on the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale their Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation outcome measure score and their maximal grip strength in the affected UE before CTF immediately after CTF and at the 1-week follow-up after completing tissue flossing daily for 2 minutes I will compare the outcomes from each measurement to evaluate the effects of CTF on lateral elbow pain symptoms
