Abstract
Lateral Epicondylitis, also known as “Tennis Elbow” is a common soft-tissue condition frequently associated with overuse injury of the elbow. It is the most frequently diagnosed musculoskeletal disorder in the neck and upper extremity. As the study is a Case Study, so that there is only two subject who participated for the study. The patient was a 32-yearold, right-handed man with a height of 1.75 meters, a body mass of 76 kilogram and BMI of 24.8 Kg/m2. He is working in the company as the position of Data operator and has the history of using the personal computer or typing work for more than 5 hours per day and the second patient was a 36-year-old, right-handed man with a height of 1.4 meters, a body mass of 60 kilogram and BMI of 30.6 Kg/m2. He is working in the company as the position of Data operator and has the history of using the personal computer or typing work for more than 6.5 hours per day. The significant improvement in pain free grip strength with the Move Kinetic Taping with respect to baseline can be attributed to the band which was applied circumferentially over the wrist extensor muscle belly giving overall proprioceptive feedback. Move Kinetic Taping produced a considerably greater improvement in grip strength and function as compared to the conventional exercises and implies its potential use in the future in addition to the conservative physiotherapeutic treatment with Move Kinetic Taping in the management of patients with lateral epicondylitis.
