The effectiveness of the use of various methods of shock wave therapy in the complex treatment of athletes with lateral epicondylitis

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