Abstract
Background: Lateral epicondylitis is the most common condition occurring at the elbow joint. It is a pathologic condition of the wrist extensor muscles at their origin on the lateral humeral epicondyle. ART and MFR with ultrasound are used as a mode of treatment in lateral epicondylitis. Materials and methodology: The participants were divided into two groups each including 10 participants: A (MFR + Ultrasound) & B (ART + Ultrasound). NPRS, PRTEE questionnaire and hand dynamometer was used to evaluate the outcome measures at the beginning and end of 3 weeks. The period of intervention was 3 weeks for 4 days per week and after 3 weeks.
