About

The effects of Muscle Energy Technique intervention have been investigated in recent studies in Lateral Epicondylitis. Some studies have been conducted about mills manipulation and Muscle Energy Technique but according to the literature review there is no study exist to determine the effects of Mill's Manipulation along with Muscle Energy Technique in Lateral epicondylitis. Because of this reason, further research required to find out the effects of Mill's Manipulation along with Muscle Energy Technique in pain, Range of motion and disability in lateral epicondylitis. So the aim of the study is to determine whether these techniques are effective and should be incorporated frequently in a clinical setting in relation to the conventional therapy. This study will help the clinician for the identification of the better and quick treatment regime which will have no adverse effects and risks and making them more effective, efficient for the patient with lateral epicondylitis.
