Secondary title: | Effectiveness of physiotherapeutic treatment in lateral epicondylitis |
Secondary abstract: | Introduction and purpose: Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is one of the most common causes of pain in the lateral region of the elbow. It is caused by repeated microinjuries of the tissue with an eccentric load on the wrist or forearm muscles. There are two types of treatment, conservative and surgical. One of the most important conservative approaches is physiotherapy treatment. Medical guidelines for physiotherapeutic treatment of LE have not been established, so the aim of the thesis is examining the literature on the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic methods and techniques, as well as presenting the recommendation for conservative treatment. Methods: The graduation thesis is based on a systematic study of the literature. It was obtained with the help of PubMed and PEDro databases. Results: We included 17 studies in the research. We found that the use of physiotherapy procedures to treat LE is recommended even if there is present lack of sufficient evidence of their effects. Usability: The outcome is useful in clinical practice in the physiotherapeutic treatment of patients with LE. Limitations: The researches are low-quality because of the small number of people under investigation and short term measurements |
