Abstract

Abstract Study aim: To compare the effect of premodulated interferential current (PREMOD IFC) and diadynamic current (DD) with exercise training on the management of lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET). Material and methods: One hundred and four patients with unilateral LET from both genders (55 females and 49 males) were randomly allocated into two groups. Group A received PREMOD IFC in addition to the exercises, and group B received DD with the same exercises. The outcomes were maximum grip strength assessed by the hand dynamometer, the pinch strength assessed by the pinch gauge dynamometer, and pain and functional disability of the forearm assessed by a patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation (PRTEE) questionnaire. All participants received electrical stimulation, consisting of three sessions per week for six weeks. Results: The mean PRTEE score, and grip strength were significantly improved after six weeks in favour of group A, while there was no significant difference between the two groups in pinch strength. (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results revealed that the combination of PREMOD IFC with exercises could improve pain, functional disability, and grip strength compared to DD with exercises in LET patients without a significant difference between the two groups in pinch strength.

预调制干涉电流与双动力电流对肘关节外侧肌腱病变治疗的影响

摘要:研究目的:比较预调制干扰电流(PREMOD IFC)和动态电流(DD)配合运动训练对肘关节外侧肌腱病变(LET)的治疗效果。材料与方法:将男女单侧LET患者104例(女性55例，男性49例)随机分为两组。A组在锻炼的同时给予PREMOD IFC, B组在锻炼的同时给予DD。结果是通过手测力仪评估的最大握力，通过捏计测力仪评估的捏力，以及通过患者评分的网球肘评估(PRTEE)问卷评估的前臂疼痛和功能残疾。所有参与者都接受了电刺激，包括每周三次，持续六周。结果:6周后，A组的平均PRTEE评分和握力明显提高，而两组的握力无显著差异。(p < 0.05)。结论:结果显示，与DD联合运动相比，PREMOD IFC联合运动可以改善LET患者的疼痛、功能残疾和握力，两组之间握力没有显著差异。
