Comparison of The Efficiency of Eswt And Eswt+Kinesio Taping Treatments in Lateral Epicondylitis
Öz
Aim: To determine the effect of only ESWT method to the combined use of ESWT method with kinesio taping method on lateral epicondylitis and determine the superiority of these methods.
Material and Methods: 96 patients (69 females, 27 males) between 27-65 age diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis were included in the study. The patients were divied in two groups. In Method 1 group, ESWT was applied on lateral epicondyle in each of the three sessions. Following this, kinesio taping was applied to the forearm of the patient. In Method 2 group applied only ESWT on lateral epicondyle. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assessment of pain with rest, resistant wrist extension, and palpation. HAQ (health assessment questionnaire) was used for the assessment of general health condition.
Results: Method 1 showed that the reduction of pain in the wrist extension was more effective in the treatment of male patients compared to method 2 and also there was a significant difference in the evaluation of pain with palpation in the treatment of female patients compared to method 2. Significant healing was found in all other parameters however, no statistically significant difference was found.
Conclusion:The result of the effects of taping method with ESWT technique in increasing proprioceptive healing in females and decreasing pain with resistant wrist extension in males, was concluded that “the combined use of kinesio taping method with ESWT method is effective than using only ESWT method”.
