Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group A (Mulligan Mobilization with movement) 47 patients in group A will receive Mulligan Mobilization with Movement after conservative treatment. Conservative treatment will be applied in form of ultrasound and tens. Physiotherapist will apply ultrasound for 8 minutes in continuous mode in circular manner on lateral condyle of humerus with frequency of 1MHz followed by application of tens. 1 pad of tens will be placed on above lateral condyle of humerus and other on below the lateral condyle of humerus for 15 minutes. Patient will be in supine position with elbow in full extension and forearm in pronation with stabilization will be provided by therapist at distal part of the arm while therapist will apply Mulligan Mobilization with movement technique by adding lateral glide at elbow by using the belt. Patient will be instructed to make a fist and open the fist while therapist will maintain glide by belt during the movement. Mobilization technique will be carried for total 36 times. After 12repetitions, a short rest period will be given for 15 seconds. Each session will last for 35-45 minutes. The session will repeat three times a week, 12 sessions over 4 weeks

Description
Intervention group B (Eccentric concentric exercise) 47 patients in Group B will receive eccentric concentric exercise after the conservative treatment. Conservative treatment will be applied in form of ultrasound and tens. Physiotherapist will apply ultrasound for 8 minutes in continuous mode in circular manner on lateral condyle of humerus with frequency of 1MHz followed by application of tens. 1 pad of tens will be placed on above lateral condyle of humerus and other on below the lateral condyle of humerus for 15 minutes. For eccentric concentric exercises patients will be in sitting position with elbow flexed to 90 degree and forearm in pronation with hand over the edge of the table. Therapist will instruct the patient to hold 1 lb. weight in hand while keeping the forearm supported at the armrest of chair or on their knee so that they can move their hand freely. Patient will be instructed to raise or lift wrist up towards the ceiling slowly for concentric contraction and lower the wrist slowly toward the floor for eccentric contraction. Patient will be instructed to gradually increase the weight up to 100 gm on weekly basis. Each session will last for 35-45 minutes. The session will repeat three times a week, 12 sessions over 4 weeks
