Mobilization With Movement Verses Cyriax Techniques Among Athletes With Lateral Epicondylitis
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of Mobilization with Movement (MWM) and Cyriax techniques in athletes diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). Lateral epicondylitis commonly causes pain, reduced grip strength, and impaired proprioception, particularly in racquet and throwing sports players. A total of 56 participants aged 25-40 years with symptoms of less than three months will be randomly assigned to either the MWM group or the Cyriax group. Both groups will receive treatment five times per week for four weeks. Outcomes including elbow proprioception (Joint Position Sense test), pain and functional disability (Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation), and grip strength (Handheld Dynamometer) will be assessed at baseline, at 2 weeks, and at 4 weeks. The study aims to determine which treatment method provides superior improvement in pain reduction, functional recovery, and proprioceptive enhancement.
• Both male and female population including sports persons(only throw ball players e.g racquet players)
• Population with age range of 25 - 40 years.
• Include only clinically diagnosed lateral epicondylitis patients
• Patients with proprioception impairments in affected limb
⁃ Symptoms duration less than 3 months, not longer than 3 months
