“…The increased vertebral flexion results in reducing the range of motion for the glenohumeral joint. 27 Ucurum et al 9 also pointed out that the muscles associated with shoulder external rotation are weakened by the compensatory injuries from the wrist extensor. The research also found out that lateral epicondylitis patients show weaker shoulder external rotation compared to the normal group.…”

“…This would result in reducing the shoulder stability and the increased energy demand would cause injuries due to overused elbows. 9,10 Generally, the external force generated by the ground reaction force and gravitational force acting on joints are offset by joint's soft tissues and other muscles. When the center of gravity change with bad posture, however, this results in excessive external force from the gravitation and the body requires excessive internal force to balance the gravitational force and external force.…”

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the scapulothoracic mobilization on subject with lateral epicondylalgia. This was done through lateral slide scapular test, grip strength, visual analogue scale, glenohumeral joint external rotation range of motion. Methods: Before the experiment, Lateral slide scapular test, grip strength, visual analogue scale, glenohumeral joint external rotation range of motion were measured. Scapulothoracic joint mobilization was applied and then measurements were taken again to compared the changes. Results: After applying the scapulothoracic joint mobilization, lateral slide scapular test, grip strength, visual analogue scale, glenohumeral joint external rotation range of motion significantly improved. Conclusion:This study found that the scapulothoracic mobilization was effective in improving functional aspects and pain on subject with lateral epicondylalgia. The results suggest that the scapulothoracic joint mobilization is a significant considered intervention method that could be used for subject with lateral epicondylalgia.

“…Weakness of these muscles alters the biomechanics of the upper extremity with resultant excessive stress and forces imparted to the proximal and distal components in the kinetic chain. Strengthening the scapular muscles has shown better outcomes in rehabilitation of several upper extremity injuries like lateral epicondylalgia [31,32]. Several studies have shown alterations in flexibility, or muscle imbalance are common in patients with shoulder injury.…”

Background: Tennis elbow can be caused by repetitive wrist and arm motions. Pain is the primary symptom. It usually occurs on the outside of the elbow and sometimes in the forearm and wrist. Treatment includes rest, pain relievers and physiotherapy. Case Presentation: A 28years old male patient presented with a complaint of pain in outer side of the right side elbow. In subjective examination, He gave history of pain while playing tennis mainly in smashing the ball or passing shot, riding bike for more than 2kilometers, difficulty in holding objects sometimes as well. When this pain was unbearable to him he came to Physiotherapy department. Treatment: A Treatment session initially started with Cryotherapy (Ice Pack) application for 5min. On lateral epicondyle of right elbow. Then Ultrasound 0.8 watt/Cm² for 7minutes given, these helped in pain reduction. After 2days patient is asked to follow the commands to perform Triceps strengthening along with wrist strengthening with the help of Half Kg Dumb bell. There was an effect on the reduction of the symptoms of the patient which were pain, reduce strength and limited range of motion of wrist in right hand. After 1week of treatment, we added Mobilization with movement (Mulligan) technique at elbow joint. The same procedure was continued for 2weeks after which patient's symptoms were minimized as to the day of assessment. Outcome measures used for the evaluation of the symptoms were NPRS Scale for Pain, Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) for Strength. Conclusion: Triceps strengthening along with Mulligan technique for elbow joint was found to be effective in patients with severe pain and reduced strength.
