Abstract
There are various considerations about the mechanism of injury, as well as the medical management and treatment of lateral epicondylitis. Epicondylitis is a cumulative traumatic injury caused by the constant use of the muscles in the arm and elbow and causes small microtraumas in the tendons i.e tendonitis. Other factors that can affect the development of the injury are lack of strength, poor technique, intense and improper exercising, etc. It is suspected that the strained strings from the tennis racket are closely linked to epicondylitis, however, there is little evidence to support this theory. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of kinesitherapy techniques in improving the functional status of patients with lateral epicondylitis, based on modern principles of rehabilitation.. Material and methods: The study included 16 patients with lateral epicondylitis. In order to acheive homogeneity of the research, the patients were selected according to multiple criteria: to be between 35 and 55 years old; have not been diagnosed with other inflammatory conditions (unilaterally and/or bilaterally); have been diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis (unilateral); have stable hemodynamics and blood pressure below 140/90; not to have severe cardiovascular and respiratory failure. The subjects were treated with a specialized kinesitherapy method, based on the modern principles of kinesitherapy in lateral epicondylitis. For the purposes of the research, a complex of diagnostic methods was applied, and the results evaluated on the 1st day, the 15th day and the 1st month from the beginning of the treatment are shown on the worksheet. Assessments: Chair Sign test, Cozen’s test, Mill’s test, manual-muscle test (MMT), centimetry (cm), and goniometry (°). Results and Discussion: The applied kinesiology method permanently stabilizes the performance of motor revascularization in patients with lateral epicondylitis. The combination of soft mobilization procedures - direct, articulated and combined with massage and muscle-inhibiting techniques, supplemented by routine kinesitherapy, is a prerequisite for the early and non-risky recovery of elbow arthrokinematics during conservative treatment. Conclusion: The presence of positive change in all parameters was observed after the administration of specialized kinesiotherapy in all subjects. A thorough and in-depth analysis of the results provides us with the basis for claiming that kinesitherapy has both a wounded and a late therapeutic effect associated with the continuity of application, the structure of administration and the appropriateness of the kinesis involved.
