    A Comparative Study on Effectiveness of Therapeutic Ultrasound And Kinesio Tape In Treatment of Tennis Elbow
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2022-10-10) Harsh Bansal; Lalit Arora; Reena Arora
    Background: Tennis elbow is a painful condition of the elbow caused by overuse. It effects the tendons near the origin of the wrist extensor muscles, which results in the functional loss in the affected limb. This leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow. Methods: 20 males and females patients with age from 20-50 years were included in this study and were divided into two groups. Group A received ultrasound and exercises and Group B received Kinesio tape and exercises. The wrist joint strength was measured using a dynamometer, with pressure measured in kilograms, and pain severity measured using a VAS scale. Duration of the study was 4 weeks. Patients were assessed at 0th day and at the end of 4th week. Result: Both Group A and Group B showed significant difference in wrist strength and VAS. However in the examination of pre- and post-tests, wrist strength in Group A exhibited a more significant difference than Group B. VAS also revealed a significant high difference in Group A as compared to Group B. Conclusion: This investigation came to conclusion that Group A displayed a significantly higher difference. Therefore, in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, ultrasound is more beneficial than kinesio taping.

    To Evaluate the Efficacy of Ultrasound Therapy with Maitland Mobilization against Shortwave Diathermy with Maitland Mobilization in Treatment of Periarthritis Shoulder
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2024-04-20) Tanishq Monga; Lalit Arora; Reena Arora; Anu Monga
    Background: A clinical condition of uncertain etiology characterized by substantial restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion, initially affecting external rotation and later shoulder abduction. The main pain factor is ROM restriction and inflammation. The initial stage is challenging, with the majority of the discomfort occurring at night. Purpose: The initial stage is challenging to treat, with the majority of the discomfort occurring at night, and hence we need to compare the treatment approaches. Methods: 60 subjects were included as per inclusion and exclusion criteria diagnosed with frozen shoulder of age group between 40-70 years. The subjects were randomly divided into 3 groups. Group A (n=20) were treated with ultrasound therapy with Maitland mobilization; Group B (n=20) were treated with shortwave diathermy with Maitland mobilization; Group C (n=20) were treated with hot packs and exercises. Patients were evaluated for pain by using VAS. ROM of shoulder joint was measured using a goniometer. The duration of the study was 6 weeks. The patients were assessed on the 0th day and at the end of the 3rd and 6th weeks. Results: After statistical analysis, significantly higher improvement was seen in the mean of VAS and ROM in Group B. Conclusion: It was determined that Maitland mobilization in combination with shortwave diathermy is superior to both other modalities of therapy.
