Abstract Ova studija predstavlja kvantitativnu slijepu studiju u kojoj se ispitivala kvaliteta boli i snaga
kod bolesnika sa radijalnim epikondilitisom humerusa. Radijalni epikondilitis humerusa
karakterizira bol i oteklinu u lokalnom području tetiva i hvatištu tetiva koje se hvataju na
lateralni epikondil humerusa. Bol je najčešće prisutna na vanjskoj strani lakta i otežava
pokrete poput stiska šake.
U studiji su korišteni validirani testovi. Vizualna analogna skala (VAS) se koristila za
ispitivanje intenziteta boli, a manualni mišićni test (MMT) za procjenu snage mišića.
Ispitivao se utjecaj osteopatske manualne terapije u odnosu na fizioterapijski tretman na
simptome boli i snage kod osoba koje imaju radijalni epikondilitis humerusa.
Uzorak od 16 ispitanika činili su bolesnici od 30-60 godina sa dijagnosticiranim lateralnim
epikondilitisom od strane liječnika specijaliste. Odabrano je 8 ispitanika u eksperimentalnu i 8
ispitanika u kontrolnu grupu.
Za ispitivanje intenziteta boli se koristila Vizualna analogna skala (VAS), a manualni mišićni
test (MMT) za ocjenu mišićne snage.
Za obradu podataka korištene su mjere deskriptivne statistike (aritmetička sredina i
standardna devijacija), originalni rezultati oba mjerenja manualnog mišićnog testa
transformirani su u formu postotka skalnog maksimuma (%SM), za usporedbu rezultata
između dviju skupina (eksperimentalna i kontrolna) korišten je test za dva nezavisna uzorka
(Mann-Whitney U test) uz koji je iskazana i značajnost razlike (p vrijednost), usporedba
rezultata između dva mjerenja za svaku skupinu posebno učinjena je testom za zavisne uzorke
(Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test test za dva zavisna uzorka) uz koji je iskazana i značajnost
razlike (p vrijednost), a rezultati su prikazani tablično i grafički (histogram)
Dobiveni statistički rezultati ove studije su pokazali da u testu kvalitete boli po VAS skali nije
utvrđena statistički značajna razlika između skupina no utvrđena je statistički značajna razlika
u smislu značajno niže vrijednosti procijenjene boli u drugom mjerenju kod eksperimentalne i
kontrolne grupe.
Kod mjerenja snage mišića manualnim mišićnim testom nije utvrđena statistički značajna
razlika među skupinama.
U eksperimentalnoj skupini, za sva tri manualna mišićna testa utvrđena je statistički značajna
razlika između prvog i završnog mjerenja u smislu značajno viših vrijednosti što pokazuje
pozitivan terapijski utjecaj osteopatije i fizikalne terapije.
U kontrolnoj skupini, za provedena sva tri manualna mišićna testa utvrđena je statistički
značajna razlika između prvog i završnog mjerenja u kontekstu značajno viših vrijednosti u
drugom mjerenju.
Na temelju dobivenih rezultata istraživanja dokazuje se da osteopatski tretman značajnije ne
utječe na smanjenje boli i povećanje snage kod skupine pacijenata sa radijalnim
epikondilitisom humerusa u odnosu na standardan fizioterapijski tretman, međutim dokazuje
pozitivan utjecaj globalnog osteopatskog tretmana na simptome, bol i snagu kod pacijenata sa
lateralnim epikondilitisom što utječe na afirmaciju fizikalne terapije i osteopatije u
zdravstvenom sustavu liječenja.
Abstract (english) This study is a quantitative, randomized study to examine the quality of pain and strength in
patients with radial epicondylitis. Radial epicondylitis is characterized by pain and swelling in
the local area of tendons and tendon insertions that are inserted on the lateral epicondyle of
the humerus. The pain is usually localized on the external part of the elbow and make
movements, such as a hand grip, difficult.
The study used validated tests. The visual analog scale (VAS) is used to examine the intensity
of pain, and manual muscle test (MMT) for muscle strength evaluation. Initial and final
evaluation were conducted by qualified team members.
This study examined the effect of osteopathic manual therapy compared to physiotherapy
treatment on pain and strength in people with radial epicondylitis of the humerus.
The sample consisted of 16 subjects, 30-60 years old, and diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis
by a medical specialist. 8 subjects were selected into experimental and 8 patients in the
control group.
To test pain intensity visual analog scale (VAS) was used, and manual muscle test (MMT) for
the assessment of muscle strength was applied.
For data analysis, measures of descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used.
The original results of both measurements of the manual muscle test were transformed into
the percentage form of scale maximum (% SM). To compare results between two groups
(experimental and control) a test for two independent samples, Mann-Whitney U test, was
used. This test is expressed with a difference in p value. A comparison of results between the
two measurements for each group separately underwent a test for dependent samples,
Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, which aklso gives a p value.. The results are presented in tables
and graphs (histogram).
The obtained statistical results of this study showed that in the test quality of pain by the VAS
scale there was no statistically significant difference between groups. There was a statistically
significant difference in terms of significantly lower values for estimated pain in the second
measurement for both the experimental and control groups.
Measuring muscle strength by manual muscle test did not reveal statistically significant
differences between groups.
In the experimental group, all three manual muscle tests demonstrated statistically significant
difference between the first and final measurements in terms of significantly higher values in
the second measurements, indicating a positive therapeutic effect of osteopathy.
In the control group, all three manual muscle tests demonstrated a statistically significant
difference between the first and final measurements in terms of significantly higher values in
the second measurement indicating a positive therapeutic effect of physiotherapy.
Based on the statistical results, our research shows that the osteopathic treatment for the
reduction of pain and increase in muscle strength in patirents with lateral epicondylitis had no
significantly greater effect than did standard physiotherapy treatment. Both showed
statistically significant improvement in pain decrease and strength with treatment.
The fact that the osteopathy results were, at least comparable, to the physiotherapy results
shows that physiotherapy and osteopathy is a valid treatment method for the treatment of
lateral epicondylitis and has a place in the health care system and can be considered a
complementary therapeutic approach.
