Abstract
  • Study Design: Scoping Review Introduction: Myofascial Release Therapy is a common intervention for clinical use on Lateral Epicondylitis; however, there is no current evaluation for the effectiveness of this treatment. Purpose of the Study: This scoping review examines current evidence on the effectiveness of Myofascial Release Therapy for treatment on patients with Lateral Epicondylitis. Methods: The PRISMA protocol for scoping reviews was used to conduct the scoping review. 12 peer-reviewed published articles were included in this study based on publication date, written in English, included in an academic journal, and limited to the full text of the article when searched in databases. Results: All twelve studies reported statistically significant data with outcome measures of pain reduction. Nine studies found significance for improved functional ability, and nine studies found significance for improved grip strength. Conclusions: Myofascial Release Therapy can provide a short-term improvement in pain reduction, improved functional ability and improved strength. Future studies are required to determine the long-term effects of Myofascial Release Therapy on Lateral Epicondylitis.
