20.500.12556/RUL-154966 Physiotherapy approach for treating lateral epicondilalgia Lateral epicondylitis, a tendinopathy affecting forearm extensor muscles, results from overuse and commonly manifests as pain over the lateral humeral epicondyle. The extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) is implicated, particularly during forceful gripping. The condition is prevalent in the 35-45 age group and it affects 1-3% of the population, with symptoms lasting two years and reoccurring after asymptomatic periods. Considering the economic impact of lateral epicondylalgia-related sick leave, therapeutic focus must emphasize long-term as well as short-term efficacy. Treatment approaches include drugs, rest, physiotherapy and surgery. Platelet-rich plasma proves highly effective, reducing pain and work absenteeism. Severe cases may require surgical approach, with studies questioning the benefits of surgery over a placebo. Pain management involves shockwave therapy, ultrasound, friction massage, eccentric exercises, stretching, and orthoses. Shockwave therapy stands out for its rapid pain relief and long-term efficacy. The combination of exercises and kinesiotaping is effective, while high-intensity laser therapy has limited evidence. Functionality improves with manual therapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises. Orthoses may negatively impact hand function. Grip strength correlates closely with functionality, with therapeutic exercise and manual therapy showing significant long-term results. lateral epicondylalgia tendinopathy rehabilitation physiotherapy approach true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2024-03-12 10:22:07 2024-03-12 10:22:07 2024-09-11 12:16:00 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 29-33 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 615.82/.84 10.55295/PSL.2024.I5 188492547 186758147 5_Urbancic_Spela.pdf 5_Urbancic_Spela.pdf 1 DD2E10D792C6A3AA520A44B3CD91CBE1 5d199e0cd4a650777af52e1b9098de879f8f33bdd11e61acb04c4ae2fe48466a c8027072-6f7c-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=190309 https://www.zf.uni-lj.si/si/predstavitev/zalozba/socratic-lectures-10-part-i 0 b23c65b7-6f7c-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=190308 Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
