Abstract

 Objective: The study was done to find out the incidence of Tennis Elbow in Professional Tabla Players. Method: The study was of an observational design, with 50 subjects; all subjects were selected according to inclusion & exclusion criteria and carried out at Swarsangam school of music ,Saraswati music academy, Shri Sai music academy Moradabad and Cultural department of Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut (Uttar Pradesh) . All the subjects were assessed before and after plying the tabla for pain, swelling, tenderness and redness by using the VAS and other scales which were mentioned in questionnaire respectively. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS software. Chi2 -test was used to find out the incidence of reoccurrence of above said symptoms in the subjects and to analyze the significance of p-values. Results: It was predicted in the research before collecting data that there can be high incidence of tennis elbow in professional tabla players as there is over use of wrist extensors during playing tabla. Inflammation at common extensor origin can take place due to it. But the result show only 48% incidence of tennis elbow. So it can be assumed that tabla players are not much susceptible to tennis elbow. The results showed that there was significant difference in pain, swelling, tenderness and redness with their VAS score.

Keywords: Tennis Elbow; VAS (Visual Analog Scale).
