The relative effectiveness of cross friction and Mill's manipulation as compared to cross friction alone in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)

Shaik, Junaid January 2000 (has links)
Thesis submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for a Master's Degree in Technology: Chiropractic at Technikon Natal, 2000. / The purpose of this study was to determine the relative effectiveness of cross friction combined with Mill's manipulation compared to cross friction alone in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis. This was a prospective, controlled study. The study involved thirty subjects, fifteen randomly allocated into two groups. These patients were selected from the general population by purposive sampling methods. Group 1 received cross friction and Mill's manipulation while Group 2 received cross friction only. Each subject was treated 6 times over a three-week period. Patients were required to return for a one-month follow-up from the date of their last consultation. / M

Verletzungen im Tennis – eine Langzeitanalyse von ambitionierten Freizeit- und Leistungsspielern / Injuries in tennis – a long-term analysis of ambitious leisure and competitive players

Flügel, Julian January 2018 (has links) (PDF)
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit Tennisverletzungen im ambitionierten Freizeit- und Leistungsbereich. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, Verletzungen und Überlastungsschäden nach Häufigkeit, Lokalisation und Vorkommen bei Männern und Frauen zu untersuchen. Des Weiteren wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen chronischen Beschwerden an der oberen Extremität und Schlägereigenschaften wie Gewicht, Besaitungshärte und Saitenart analysiert. Hierzu wurden deutschlandweit 600 Tennisspieler befragt und 299 Tennisspieler über zweieinhalb Jahre lang beobachtet. Es zeigte sich, dass im ambitionierten Freizeit- und Leistungsbereich die akuten Verletzungen zum Großteil (58,2%) an der unteren Extremität auftreten. Am verletzungsanfälligsten ist das Sprunggelenk, hier manifestieren sich 29,8% aller akuten Verletzungen. Die Mehrheit der verletzten Strukturen sind Bänder (36,4%) und Muskeln (31,6%). Das chronische Beschwerdeprofil wird überwiegend durch Überlastungsschäden an der oberen Extremität, insbesondere an der Schulter (26,0%) und am Ellenbogengelenk (21,1%), charakterisiert. Ursache der Beschwerden sind v.a. Tendinophatien (56,8%). Als Stabilisator spielt der Rumpf eine zentrale Rolle im Tennis. Demnach manifestieren sich 20,5% der Überlastungsschäden als Rückenbeschwerden. Zu den Risikofaktoren zählen ein Alter unter 30 Jahren sowie ein niederklassiges Spielniveau. Im Geschlechtervergleich sind Männer signifikant (p< 0,05) häufiger verletzt als Frauen und haben ein dreifach höheres Risiko für Schulterverletzungen. Frauen hingegen haben ein doppelt so hohes Risiko für Oberschenkelverletzungen und ein 2,7 fach höheres Risiko für Bandverletzungen am Knie. Mit einem Verletzungsrisiko von 0,15 Verletzungen/ 1000h und überwiegend leichten bis moderaten Verletzungen zählt Tennis zu den risikoarmen Sportarten. Im Vergleich zeigte sich ein sehr ähnliches Verletzungs- bzw. Beschwerdeprofil bei ambitionierten Freizeit- und Leistungsspielern einerseits und professionellen Tennisspielern andererseits. Mit der retrospektiven Arbeit konnte kein signifikanter Zusammenhang (p >0,05) zwischen verschiedenen Schlägereigenschaften (Gewicht, Besaitungshärte, Saitenart) und der Ausprägung von chronischen Beschwerden an der oberen Extremität festgestellt werden. Die prospektiven Ergebnisse zeigen bei geringen Fallzahlen augenscheinlich mehr Beschwerden am Ellenbogen bei schwereren Tennisschlägern. Leichtere Schläger (< 300g) und weichere Besaitungen (< 25kg) erhöhen das Risiko, Tendinopathien an der Schulter zu entwickeln. Weiterführend gilt es, einen Zusammenhang zwischen Dauer und Anzahl von schädlichen Schlägervibrationen und der Entstehung von Überlastungsschäden an der oberen Extremität zu finden. / The present work deals with tennis injuries in the leisure sports and competitive tennis. The aim of this study was to investigate injuries and overuse injuries by frequency, location and occurrence in men and women. Furthermore, the relationship between overuse injuries to the upper limb and tennis racket characteristics such as weight, string tension and different tennis strings was analyzed. For this purpose, 600 tennis players throughout Germany were questioned retrospectively and 299 tennis players were observed over two and a half years. It was found that most of the acute injuries (58.2%) occur in the lower limb. The most prone location is the ankle, which accounts for 29.8% of all acute injuries. The majority of injured structures are ligaments (36.4%) and muscles (31.6%). The chronic complaints are predominantly characterized by overuse injuries to the upper limb, especially the shoulder (26.0%) and the elbow joint (21.1%). Causes of the complaints are mainly tendinophaties (56.8%). Men are significantly more often injured (p <0.05) than women and have a three times higher risk for shoulder injuries. Women on the other hand have a two times higher risk to be affected by thigh injuries and a 2.7 times higher risk to have knee injuries than men. With a risk of injury of 0.15 injuries / 1000h and mostly mild to moderate injuries, tennis is a low-risk sport. The retrospective study found no significant correlation (p> 0.05) between different tennis racket characteristics (weight, string tension and type) and the severity of overuse injuries to the upper extremity. The prospective results show more overuse injuries to the elbow by heavier tennis rackets. Lighter tennis rackets (<300g) and softer strings (<25kg) increase the risk of shoulder tendinopathies.

Videotaped Modeling with and without Verbal Cues

Rowland, Amy Lee 19 August 2004 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of videotaped modeling of a tennis skill with and without verbal cues. Eighteen female players from two NCAA Division III colleges served as the subjects for the study. The players were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both of the groups viewed a modeling videotape which contained a 56-second clip of a female professional hitting forehand groundstrokes looped seven times. Group One'­s tape included verbal cues on balance, posture, and contact point. Group Two'­s tape did not contain verbal cues. Both of the groups were pre-tested on power, performance, trait confidence, and state confidence before viewing the modeling tape six times. Then they were post-tested on the same measures and given a qualitative questionnaire. They were also asked a follow-up question in interview format. The qualitative analyses revealed that Group 2 subjects were unable to articulate the concepts of balance, posture and contact point as well as Group 1. Group 1 was better able to articulate these concepts with a higher percentage of participants answering the qualitative questionnaire consistent with the relevant verbal cues for balance, posture, and contact point. The results of this study indicate that tennis coaches should consider adding verbal cues when using videotaped modeling to enhance its effectiveness. / Ph. D.
