PHYSIOTHERAPY MANAGEMENT OF TENNIS ELBOW DEXTRA
CASES IN REGIONAL PUBLIC HOSPITAL WONOSARI
(Rena Fillias Afinii, 2018, 48 pages)
Background: tennis elbow is an inflammatory disorder that occurs at the lateral
epicondyles as the effects of the muscles are too extended when be used and
excess activity that is repetitive in quite a long time.
Objectives: to determine the benefits of using the grastron technique and
eccentric strengthening exercise for tennis elbow dextra cases.
Results: after the 6th therapy has given, there was decrease of pain in motion T0:
4 to T6: 1, decrease of trigger point T0: 5 to T6: 1, range of motion (ROM)
increasing at elbow flexion-extension from T0 : S 0ᵒ-0ᵒ-120ᵒ to T6 : S 0ᵒ-0ᵒ-140ᵒ,
ROM increasing of forearm pronation-supination T0 : R 75ᵒ-0ᵒ-80ᵒ to T6 : R 85ᵒ-
0ᵒ-90ᵒ, ROM increasing of wrist flexion-extension T0 : S 50ᵒ-0ᵒ-70ᵒ to T6 : S 70ᵒ-
0ᵒ-80ᵒ, and muscle strength increasing for flexor-extensor of elbow muscles group
T0: 4- to T6: 4+, for pronator-supinator of forearm muscles group T0: 4 to T6: 5,
and for wrist flexor-extensor muscles group T0: 4 to T6: 5 for flexor and 4+
extensor.
Conclusions: modality of grastron technique and eccentric strengthening
exercise can reduce the pain, increase the Range of Motion (ROM), and increase
the muscle strength of arm and wrist
