Abstract

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Mulligan taping versus kinesio taping with common use of ultrasound therapy in managing tennis elbow.


METHODS: Thirty cricketers aged between 25 to 35 years, presenting with tennis elbow with symptom duration within one month, were randomized into two groups. The Group-A received Mulligan taping with ultrasound therapy and Group-B received kinesio taping with ultrasound therapy. Treatment duration was 3 times a weekly four weeks.


OUTCOME MEASURES: Data was obtained on pain intensity levels via Visual Analog Scale (VAS) grip strength via measuring Pain Free Grip Strength (PFGS) and functional status measured by the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE).


RESULTS: Result shows that significant improvement in VAS (p=.04), PFGS (p=.02) and PRTEE (p=.01).


CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrate that kinesio taping with ultrasound therapy is a superior treatment approach compared to Mulligan taping with ultrasound therapy in managing tennis elbow.
