Brief Summary:
Lateral epicondylitis is a common upper extremity disease that occurs with tenderness in the lateral epicondyle the common attachment point of the wrist extensor muscles and pain during resisted wrist extension The main purpose of treating lateral epicondylitis is to reduce pain and increase functionality but there is no accepted standard treatment method The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of kinesio tape and high intensity laser in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis
Detailed Description:
Lateral epicondylitis is a common upper extremity disease that occurs with tenderness in the lateral epicondyle the common attachment point of the wrist extensor muscles and pain during resisted wrist extension It is usually a non-inflammatory tendinopathy of the extensor carpi radialis and extensor digitorum comminis Calcific tendinitis andor partial tears in the wrist extensor muscles may accompany this condition It is most common between the ages of 30-60 and its prevalence has been reported as 1-17 Although the underlying cause is mostly unknown activities that involve excessive use of wrist extensors and supinators are thought to be the most important cause of lateral epicondylitis The main purpose of treating lateral epicondylitis is to reduce pain and increase functionality but there is no accepted standard treatment method Non-surgical treatment approaches such as patient education physiotherapy applications manual therapy laser therapy splinting taping exercises massage and local injection as well as oral or topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are frequently applied Kinesio tape which is frequently used in musculoskeletal system injuries is flexible mimics skin and has a water-resistant structure Kinesio tape creates a pumping system by pulling the skin up in the area where it is applied thus increasing the skin space increasing blood and lymph circulation and creating analgesia and proprioceptive sensory input by reducing the pressure on pain receptors There are scientific studies showing that kinesio tape application reduces pain and increases functionality and grip strength in patients with lateral apicondylitis It is stated that high-intensity laser treatment can quickly create photochemical and photothermic effects in deep tissue For this reason collagen production in tendons is stimulated and can increase blood flow vascular permeability and cell metabolism As a result of all these events tissue healing begins and painful stimuli disappear It has been shown that high-intensity laser reduces pain and increases functionality and grip strength in patients with lateral epicondylitis In the literature review no randomized controlled studies were found comparing high-intensity laser and kinesio tape applications in patients with lateral epicondylitis
