Abstract
The purpose of the study: to evaluate the effectiveness of various methods of shock wave therapy in the complex treatment of athletes with lateral epicondylitis.
Materials and methods: the study involved 122 people. with a diagnosis of Lateral epicondylitis, aged 20 to 45 years, of which 55 (45.1 %) women and 67 (54.9 %) men. All patients were divided into 4 groups: a control group, which included 28 people who underwent standard treatment, and 3 groups, a total of 94 people, who underwent shock wave procedures using various methods against the background of standard treatment. The examination included the collection of complaints, anamnesis, physical examination, assessment of the function of the upper limb using the QuickDASH questionnaire, assessment of tennis elbow using the PRTEE questionnaire, carpal dynamometry was performed on a MEGEON-34090 dynamometer, and statistical methods. All studies were conducted before, after treatment, as well as after 3 weeks and 1 month. after treatment.
Results: shockwave therapy applied to tendons, flexors of the hand, and triceps brachii outperformed shockwaves to tendons or tendons and flexors of the hand in terms of Upper Limb Functional Activity (DASH) (p < 0,05) and score tennis elbow (PRTEE) (p < 0,05) after 3 weeks and after 1 month after treatment.
Conclusion: reducing the severity of pain syndrome and functional disorders of the upper limb when performing various types of activities, when conducting shock wave therapy on the area of the tendons, flexor muscles of the hand and the triceps muscle of the shoulder indicates a faster recovery of the functions of the upper limb, which is especially important for athletes.
