Effectiveness of Muscle Energy Technique Combined With Mulligan Mobilization Among Patients With Lateral Epicondylitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Muscle Energy Technique Combined With Mulligan Technique and Mulligan Mobilization With Movement for Lateral Epicondylitis and Tennis Elbow. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Muscle Energy Technique (MET) combined with Mulligan Mobilization With Movement (MWM) in patients with lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). The study compares the combined intervention with Mulligan technique and routine physical therapy alone. Outcomes including pain intensity, functional disability, and quality of life will be assessed using NPRS, PRTEE, and SF-8 questionnaires over a four-week treatment period.

Timeline
Interventions
Muscle Energy Technique will be applied using resisted isometric contractions of forearm supination and pronation. Mulligan Mobilization With Movement will be applied using sustained lateral glide during pain-free gripping activity. Treatment sessions will be conducted five times weekly for four weeks.
