Conclusion: Summary of Findings and Final Outcome of the Study

Authors

Synopsis

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Mobilization with Movement (MWM) compared with exercise therapy in the management of lateral epicondylitis. The findings of the study demonstrated that both treatment approaches resulted in improvements in pain reduction, grip strength, and functional outcomes among the participants. However, the group receiving Mobilization with Movement combined with ultrasound therapy showed greater improvements when compared to the exercise group and the control group.

The statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in grip strength and a marked reduction in pain levels measured through the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Participants treated with Mobilization with Movement showed better functional recovery and greater improvement in hand grip strength compared to those treated with conventional exercise therapy alone.

The results suggest that Mulligan’s Mobilization with Movement technique is an effective physiotherapy intervention for the management of lateral epicondylitis. This technique helps in correcting joint mechanics, reducing pain, and improving functional ability of the affected limb. The effectiveness of the treatment may also depend on the clinical expertise and proper application of the technique by the physiotherapist.

In conclusion, Mobilization with Movement can be considered a valuable therapeutic approach in the rehabilitation of patients with lateral epicondylitis, contributing to improved grip strength, pain reduction, and overall functional recovery.
