Amaç: Lateral epikondilit dirsekte ağrı, hassasiyet ve fonksiyonel kısıtlılığa neden olan klinik bir durumdur. Tedavi yaklaşımı çoğunlukla konservatiftir. Bu çalışmada, kinezyolojik bantlamanın ve epikondilit ortezinin etkinliğini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.Materyal ve Metot: Lateral epikondilit tanısı almış seksen hasta (51 kadın, 29 erkek; ortalama yaş 39.5±7.4) çalışmamıza dahil edildi. Hastalar rastgele iki gruba ayrıldı; birinci gruba epikondilit ortezi, ikinci gruba ise kinezyolojik bantlama uygulandı. Çalışmada ağrı şiddeti için görsel analog skala (VAS), klinik değerlendirme için eklem hareket açıklığının gonyometrik ölçümü, üst ekstremite fonksiyonu için özürlülük değerlendirmesi (kol, omuz ve el sorunları anketi: QUICK DASH), yaşam kalitesi değerlendirmesi için SF-36 (Kısa Form-36) ölçeği kullanıldı. Tedavi öncesinde ve 1. ile 4. haftalardaki değerlerin varyansları gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Tedavi öncesi ve 1. ile 4. haftalarda gruplar arası değerlerin varyansları karşılaştırıldı. Grup 2'nin VAS skorlarında, SF-36 PF (fiziksel fonksiyon) ve MH (mental sağlık) alt grup skorlarında, QD FS ve W alt grup skorlarında Grup 1'e göre anlamlı düzeyde iyileşme gözlendi (p

Aim: Lateral epicondylitis is a clinical condition causing pain, sensitivity, functional disability in the elbow. The treatment approach is mostly conservative. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of kinesiologic tape versus epicondylitis orthosis in the treatment.Materials And Method: Eighty patients (51 female, 29 male; mean age 39.5+7.4) who were diagnosed lateral epicondylitis were enrolled to our study. Patients were randomly allocated two groups; epicondylitis orthosis and kinesiologic tape were applied group 1and group 2. Visual analog scale (VAS) for pain severity, goniometric measurement of range of motion for clinical assessment, disability assessment (arm, shoulder and hand problems questionnaire: QUICK DASH) for upper extremity function, SF-36 (ShortForm36) scale for quality-of-life assessment were used as used in the study.Results: Before treatment and 1th, 4th weeks variances of values were compared between groups. There were improvement in VAS scores, SF-36 PF(physical function) and MH(mental health) subgroups, QD FS and W subgroups scores of Group 2 was significantly higher than scores of Group 1 (p
