The extensor carpi radial muscle may become imbalanced compared to other muscles in the upper arm and can disrupt the overall muscle balance in the upper limb. This muscular imbalance may then cause inflammation or irritation in the tendon. Regular physical activity is rarely used as the only treatment for lowering limb edema. Heavy slow resistance (HSR) training is effective compared to regular exercises. HSR affects functional abilities and physical refinement differently from conventional workouts. This study evaluated the effects of HSR and conventional exercise (CE) on subjects aged 45-65 years with unilateral elbow pain on, in Chennai city.
Patient received conservative care in the Physiotherapy Department from January 2022 to April 2022. This study compares the pre- and posttypes. Tennis Elbow Evaluation (Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation, PRTEE) questionnaires, a patient-specific functional scale, and grip strength tests were used in the study. Results from the study's treatment HSR group and treatment CE group are contrasted.
After 12 weeks of therapy, investigators reassessed grip strength, PRTEE scores, and functional scale responses. In the posttest results of the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation survey, there is a statistically significant difference between Group HSR and Group CE ( < 0.001). The posttest outcomes from the patient-specific activity scoring scheme questionnaire revealed a statistically significant disparity between Groups HSR and CE ( < 0.001). The mean values for both groups exhibited a noteworthy change, with Team HSR demonstrating higher values in contrast to the control treatment.
HSR exercise demonstrates superior effectiveness over CEs for lateral epicondylitis (LE) management, emphasizing its significance in treatment.
桡侧腕伸肌可能会与上臂的其他肌肉相比出现失衡，从而破坏上肢的整体肌肉平衡。这种肌肉失衡可能会导致肌腱发炎或受到刺激。常规体育活动很少被用作降低肢体水肿的唯一治疗方法。与常规运动相比，重负荷慢速抗阻（HSR）训练是有效的。HSR对功能能力和身体改善的影响与传统锻炼不同。本研究评估了HSR和常规运动（CE）对钦奈市45 - 65岁单侧肘部疼痛患者的影响。
患者于2022年1月至2022年4月在理疗科接受保守治疗。本研究比较了前后类型。研究中使用了网球肘评估（患者自评网球肘评估，PRTEE）问卷、患者特定功能量表和握力测试。对研究的治疗HSR组和治疗CE组的结果进行了对比。
经过12周的治疗后，研究人员重新评估了握力、PRTEE评分和功能量表反应。在患者自评网球肘评估调查的后测结果中，HSR组和CE组之间存在统计学显著差异（<0.001）。患者特定活动评分方案问卷的后测结果显示HSR组和CE组之间存在统计学显著差异（<0.001）。两组的平均值均呈现出显著变化，与对照治疗相比，HSR组的值更高。
HSR运动在治疗外侧上髁炎（LE）方面显示出比CE运动更优的效果，强调了其在治疗中的重要性。
