Huňáček, Ondřej ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Reckziegelová, Petra (referee)
Title: Evaluation of cryotherapy efficacy in medial and lateral epicondylitis Objectives: Finding out whether the combination of cryotherapy and manual physiotherapy statistically significantly affects the pain and function of the elbow joint in lateral and medial epicondylitis. Furthermore, a comparison of the group undergoing manual physiotherapeutic treatment with cryotherapy as an additive component of rehabilitation versus the group undergoing manual therapy only. Methods: Data collection was performed using a standardized Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation (PREE) questionnaire with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), through which probands evaluated the effect of procedures used in the control and experimental group on elbow pain and function. To determine the efficacy of examined intervention, the data collected before and after the experiment were used. To compare the control and the experimental group, the differences achieved for each group were used. For the statistical analysis the parametric tests were used, since Shapiro-Wilk tests showed a normal distribution of the data. A two-sample t-test was used to determine the homogeneity of the groups and also to compare the results between the groups. Paired t-test was used to test the change in condition before and after the experiment. All...
