20.500.12556/ReVIS-14407 Učinkovitost fizioterapevtskih metod in tehnik pri zdravljenju pacientov z lateralnim epikondilitisom – pregled literature diplomsko delo visokošolskega strokovnega študijskega programa prve bolonjske stopnje Fizioterapija Teoretična izhodišča: Lateralni epikondilitis, znan tudi kot teniški komolec, je pogost vzrok bolečine pri športnikih in drugem prebivalstvu. Pojavnost pri splošnem prebivalstvu je približno od 1 % do 3 %, pri teniških igralcih pa med 9 % in 35 %. Najpogosteje prizadeta je tetiva mišice ekstenzor carpi radialis brevis. Med dejavnike tveganja za preobremenitvene poškodbe komolca spadajo starost nad 40 let, indeks telesne mase (ITM) nad 30, sindrom karpalnega kanala v preteklosti in pozicioniranje prizadetih sklepov v zahtevnih obsegih. Metoda: Diplomsko delo temelji na pregledu obstoječe strokovne in znanstvene literature. Poslužil sem se kvalitativne metode analize strokovnih in znanstvenih prispevkov, pri čemer sem uporabil vključitvene in izključitvene kriterije. Literaturo sem iskal v mednarodnih podatkovnih bazah, kot so Google Scholar, Research Gate, PEDro, PubMed in ScienceDirect. Ključne besede pri iskanju so bile: teniški komolec, lateralni epikondilitis, fizioterapevtsko zdravljenje in učinkovitost. V pregled sem vključil sistematične pregledne študije, randomizirane in nerandomizirane klinične študije ter korelacijske študije, ki so bile objavljene v obdobju med letoma 2014 in 2024. Rezultati: V raziskavo sem vključil 22 člankov. Rezultati pregleda literature kažejo, da je učinkovitost fizioterapevtskih metod in tehnik odvisna od vrste uporabljene intervencije in faze bolezni. Razprava: Na podlagi analizirane literature lahko zaključim, da sodobna fizioterapevtska obravnava lateralnega epikondilitisa temelji na individualiziranem in fazno usmerjenem pristopu. Čeprav se pasivne metode pogosto uporabljajo zaradi svojega analgetičnega učinka, njihova dolgoročna učinkovitost ostaja omejena. V nasprotju s tem aktivni pristopi, ki vključujejo progresivno obremenjevanje tetive in izboljšanje mišične zmogljivosti, predstavljajo temelj dolgoročne rehabilitacije. Theoretical background: Lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, is a common cause of pain among athletes and the general population. The prevalence in the general population is approximately 1% to 3%, while among tennis players it ranges from 9% to 35%. The most commonly affected tendon is the extensor carpi radialis brevis. Risk factors for overuse injuries of the elbow include age over 40 years, a body mass index (BMI) over 30, a history of carpal tunnel syndrome, and positioning of the affected joints in demanding ranges of motion. Method: The thesis is based on a review of existing professional and scientific literature, utilizing a qualitative method to analyze professional and scientific contributions while applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. For the literature search, we used international databases such as Google Scholar, ResearchGate, PEDro, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The following keywords were used in the search: tennis elbow, lateral epicondylitis, physiotherapy treatment and effectiveness. The review included systematic review studies, randomized and non-randomized clinical studies, and correlation studies published between 2014 and 2024. Results: A total of 22 articles were included in the review. The results of the literature review indicate that the effectiveness of physiotherapy methods and techniques depends on the type of intervention used and the stage of the condition. Discussion: Based on the analyzed literature, it can be concluded that contemporary physiotherapy management of lateral epicondylitis is based on an individualized and phase-oriented approach. Although passive modalities are frequently used due to their analgesic effects, their long-term effectiveness remains limited. In contrast, active approaches, including progressive tendon loading and improvement of muscular capacity, represent the foundation of long-term rehabilitation. teniški komolec lateralni epikondilitis fizioterapevtsko zdravljenje in učinkovitost tennis elbow lateral epicondylitis physiotherapy treatment and effectiveness true false false L.
