“…Dimitrios and Manias reported that a supervised exercise program was more effective than homebased exercise in reducing pain and improving function. However, different exercise protocols were applied to the groups (Dimitrios & Manias 2013). In the present study, the same treatment program was applied to both groups for 3 weeks, and the outcomes of the supervised physiotherapy program were similar to those of the home-based.…”

“…The success of exercise interventions largely depends on patient adherence. Dimitrios and Manias stated that patients who underwent home exercise program did not comply with the exercise regimen (Dimitrios and Manias., 2013). In this study, we questioned the exercise compliance of the home-based group during weekly clinical visits, and we did not observe non-compliance.…”

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a supervised and home-based physiotherapy program in the reduction of pain and in improving functional status and quality of life in patients with lateral epicondylitis. Method: Patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis and referred to the physiotherapy clinic were evaluated retrospectively. A total of 32 patients were separated into two groups as supervised and home-based physiotherapy groups. All the patients received standard physiotherapy program consisting of static stretching exercises of the ECRB tendon, eccentric exercises of the wrist extensors and cold application, for 3 weeks. The groups were compared in terms of pain severity, range of motion, functional status (Quick-DASH) and quality of life (SF-36) after treatment. Results: Fifteen patients (12 females, 3 males) with a mean age of 44.20±7.35 years were included in the supervised physiotherapy group, and 17 patients (15 females, 2 males) with a mean age of 48.65±12.33 years in the home-based physiotherapy group. There was no statistically significant difference in activity (p=0.980) and rest pain (p=0.483), wrist flexion (p=0.775) and extension (p=0.838) range of motion, functionality (p=0.346) and quality of life (p=0.923) between groups. Conclusion: Patients participating in a home-based physiotherapy program had similar clinical outcomes in terms of pain intensity, range of motion, functionality, and quality of life as patients participating in a supervised physiotherapy. Further prospective randomized studies can be conducted by increasing the sample size and comparing with cost analyzes to determine the rehabilitation regimen that will provide the best outcomes in lateral epicondylitis rehabilitation.

“…Tennis elbow can be diagnosed and confirmed through special tests, including Mill's test and Cozen's test, that induce pain, reveal palpable soreness over the lateral epicondyle, and assess resistance during wrist and middle finger extension, as well as passive wrist flexion [9]. The Mill's test involves gently pronating the subject's forearm, fully flexing the wrist, extending the elbow, and then palpating the lateral epicondyle to assess the lateral epicondylitis.…”

The condition known as tendonitis, tennis elbow, lateral epicondylalgia, or lateral epicondylitis affects the radiohumeral joint and causes persistent, severe discomfort in the elbow. It commonly affects those who work in professions that need repetitive forearm motions, like athletes who play on courts, computer operators, and woodworkers. It tends to originate from additional rapid, tiresome, recurring eccentric contractions and activities that grab gliding joints. It commonly affects the dominant hand. This case report describes the author’s seven years of experience living with lateral epicondylitis, including functional disability in day-to-day life, and then physiotherapy management was started. Mill’s and Cozen’s tests were performed, and lateral epicondylitis was confirmed. From 2023, the physiotherapy session, including active release technique and conventional therapy, was taken regularly for four weeks. The outcome measure score of the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was 7/10 pre-treatment and 2/10 post-treatment, and for the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) scale, it was 50/100 pre-treatment and 25/100 post-treatment. The results that are reported from this particular case study suggest that physiotherapy has a significant effect in improving muscle strength, increasing range of motion, improving activities of daily living, and enhancing the overall quality of life. The study concludes a physiotherapist is crucial in treating these overuse injuries and returning the patient to their daily activities.
