Abstract

Background: Lateral epicondylitis is a common problem in women and affects their work capacity and function. In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of grip strength in women with tennis elbow problems and to investigate the relationship between grip strength and pain and function. Materials and Methods: Thirty-three with lateral epicondylitis and 33 healthy woman were included in the study. The demographic data were questioned by one-on-one interview. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain intensity, Jamar Hand dynamometer for grip strength and Patient Based Anterior Hand Evaluation Questionnaire (PRTEE) for function were used for the assessments Results: While the mean age and body mass index were 40,78± 9,99 and 24,55±4,1 in healthy group, the mean age and body mass index were 43.63 ±9.85, and 25.2±3.72 in patient group. The grip strength on the affected and unaffected side was respectively 23,45±5,17 and 22,27±5,2 in the healthy group, while grip strength was 24,81±6,58 and 18,21±7,1 in lateral epicondylitis group. When groups are compared within themselves, there was a significant difference between the affected and unaffected sides in the both groups. When both groups are compared, while there was no significant difference between the unaffected sides, it was seen that there was a statistically significant difference in strength between the affected sides. It was also found that there was a positive correlation between resting pain and PRTEE pain score and between activity pain and PRTEE pain, function and total scores. Conclusions: In lateral epicondylitis cases, grip strength was decreased significantly. In addition, pain affects the functional levels of the person. The treatment program should be planned taking into account functional impairment of strength loss.

Özet

Amaç: Lateral epikondilit kadınlarda sık görülen, çalışma kapasitesi ve fonksiyonu etkileyebilen bir problemdir. Çalışmamızda tenisçi dirseği problemi olan kadınlarda kavrama kuvvetinin etkilenmesinin değerlendirilmesi ve kavrama kuvvetinin ağrı ve fonksiyonla ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 33 lateral epikondilit tanısı almış ve 33 sağlıklı kadın dâhil edildi. Olguların demografik verileri bire bir görüşme ile sorgulandı. Değerlendirmede ağrı şiddeti için Görsel Analog Skalası (GAS), kavrama gücü için Jamar El Dinamometresi ve fonksiyonel durum için “Hasta Bazlı Ön Kol Değerlendirme Anketi” (PRTEE) anketi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Sağlıklı grubun yaş ortalaması 40,78±9,99 ve beden kitle indeksi ortalaması 24,55±4,1 iken hasta grubun yaş ortalaması 43,63±9.85 ve beden kitle indeksi ortalaması 25,2± 3,72’idi. Sağlıklı grubun el kavrama güçleri dominant taraf(etkilenmeyen taraf) 23,45±5,17 ve non-dominant taraf(etkilenmiş taraf) 22,27±5,2 iken, lateral epikondilit grubun el kavrama güçleri etkilenmeyen tarafta 24,81±6,58 ve etkilenen tarafta 18,21±7,1dir. Gruplar kendi içlerinde karşılaştırıldıkları zaman etkilenen ve etkilenmeyen taraf arasında her iki grupta da anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur. Bununla beraber her iki grup arasındaki kavrama kuvveti karşılaştırıldığında iki grubun etkilenmemiş tarafları arasında anlamlı bir fark görülmezken, etkilen taraflar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir kuvvet farkı olduğu görülmüştür. İstirahat ağrısı ile PRTEE ağrı skoru arasında ve aktivite ağrısı ile PRTEE ağrı, fonksiyon ve total skorları arasında pozitif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç: Lateral epikondilitli olgularda kavrama kuvveti anlamlı derecede azalmıştır. Ayrıca ağrı kişilerin fonksiyonel seviyelerini etkilemektedir. Tedavi programı kuvvet kaybının oluşturacağı fonksiyonel yetersizlik göz önüne alınarak planlanmalıdır.
