Mills Manipulation and Mulligan PRP Affect Pain, Grip Strength and Function on Lateral Epicondylitis

"Position the patient on a chair with a backrest and stand behind the patient. Support the patient's arm under the crook of the elbow with the shoulder joint abducted to 90° and medially rotated. The forearm will automatically fall into pronation. Place the thumb of your other hand in the web space between the patient's thumb and index finger and fully flex the patient's wrist and pronate the forearm. Move the hand supporting the crook of the elbow on to the posterior surface of the elbow joint and, while maintaining full Wrist flexion and pronation, extend the patient's elbow until you feel that all the slack Has been taken up in the tendon. Step sideways to stand behind the patient's head, Taking Care to prevent the patient from leaning away either forwards or sideways, which would reduce the tension on the tendon.~Each exercise will be done 10 times for 5 sets each with a rest interval of 10 seconds in between each set for a period of 4 weeks"

"In addition to Group A mentioned protocols Pain release phenomenon (PRP) was delivered as well. The Pain Release Phenomenon Technique (PRPS) is a technique pioneered by Brian Mulligan for management of Pain. There are different types of Pain release Phenomenon as follows:~1. Stretch PRP: affected muscle is eccentrically contracted.~2. Contraction PRP: affected muscle is concentrically contracted.~3. Compression PRP: affected joint surfaces are compressed together.~4. Distraction PRP: affected joint surfaces are distracted away from each other. The types of PRP are performed along with pertained duration of hold time by the therapist. And always painful PRP technique is chosen for the treatment. In the present study stretch PRP technique was used which provoked pain stimuli and was maintained for 15-20 seconds. Each exercise will be done 10 times for 5 sets each with a rest interval of 10 seconds in between each set for a period of 4 weeks"
