This study has been undertaken to investigate the subjects who are suffering from Lateral Epicondylitis will have problems including progressive loss of grip strength, dependent on squeezing and twisting movement of upper extremity functions. Grip strength is a major component required for the activities of daily living and functions. The objective of study was to compare the effectiveness of Mill’s manipulation to reduce pain and improve grip strength in the management of lateral epicondylitis. Study design was experimental study. 30 subjects (16 males & 14 females) with lateral epicondylitis between the age group of 35-50, were assigned in to two treatment groups. The first group (n=15) treated with conventional methods. The second groups were treated with Mill’s manipulation along with conventional treatment. The duration for the treatment was 2 weeks with 5 days per week. Outcome was measured by VAS for pain and SPHYGMOMANOMETER for grip strength. Both groups showed significant improvement in reducing pain and improving grip strength after the rehabilitation program. The experimental group showed a statistically significant improvement in reducing in pain and improving grip strength when compared to the control group (p<.01). Lateral epicondylitis patients who received mill’s manipulation along with conventional physical therapy showed a statistically significant improvement in reducing pain and improving grip strength than control group. It can be a management of lateral epicondylitis patients for reducing pain and improving grip strength. A well designed trial is needed to study the effectiveness of mill’s manipulation to reducing pain and improving grip strength a large group and long term effect.
