| Abstract: | Introduction: Lateral epicondylitis, commonly called tennis elbow, is a prevalent overuse injury that involves strain and irritation of the extensor tendons in the forearm. Though often linked to tennis and racquet sports, it can result from any repetitive hand or wrist activity, making it common among individuals whose daily tasks or occupations involve frequent arm movements. The condition involves pain, inflammation, and degeneration (tendinosis) of the wrist extensor tendon where it attaches to the lateral epicondyle, the outer part of the elbow. This leads to reduced joint mobility, impaired muscle performance, and limited range of motion, often causing significant discomfort and difficulty with routine tasks. Tennis elbow impacts approximately 40% of individuals, with the highest incidence seen in both men and women aged between 35 and 54. Physiotherapy is a key treatment approach, often involving ultrasound therapy to reduce pain and promote healing, along with active and strengthening exercises and ergonomic guidance to help prevent further strain and support functional recovery. Case Presentation: A 42-year-old hypertensive woman, who works as a general secretary at a private company, has been experiencing persistent pain in her right elbow since December 2024. The pain has gradually worsened over time and is now interfering with her ability to carry out everyday activities. She reports discomfort during routine tasks such as brushing her hair, bathing, lifting and carrying household items, performing domestic chores, and especially while typing or using a computer at work. Management and Outcome: The patient is undergoing two forms of physiotherapy treatments: ultrasonic therapy and conventional therapy. The assessment includes measuring pain using the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS), evaluating muscle strength through Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), assessing the range of motion with a goniometer, and measuring functional ability using the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE). Conclusion: The conservative treatment program, consisting of Ultrasonic Therapy and Conventional Therapy, for a patient diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) resulted in several notable improvements. These included a reduction in pain, as well as enhancements in range of motion, muscle strength, and overall functional ability. |
