dc.description.abstractPurpose: This study aims to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping (KT) in addition to conventional physiotherapy methods, on visualreaction time (VRT) and auditory reaction time (ART), pain, handgrip strength (HGS), and upper extremity function in patients withlateral epicondylitis (LE).Materials and Methods: 70 patients diagnosed with LE by a physician in a university hospital were included in the study. Patientswith LE were randomly divided into “Inhibitory KT” (IKT) and “Sham KT” (SKT) groups. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measureswere made at rest (VAS-R), with movement (VAS-M), and at night (VAS-N) separately. Hubbard Scientific reaction timer for VRTART assessment, quick disability of the arm, shoulder, and hand questionnaire (Quick DASH) for the functional state, and Jamar handdynamometer measurements for HGS were recorded for pre-treatment and post-treatment comparisons.Results: In pre-treatment and post-treatment group comparison, it was found that both groups showed statistically significant recoveryin all parameters (p<0.05). When post-treatment data of the groups were compared, it was found that VAS-M, VAS-R, VRT, and ARTscores showed a statistically significant decrease in the IKT group (p<0.05).Conclusion: The present study shows that KT application in addition to conventional physiotherapy was an effective method in LE’sconservative treatment. Statistically significant differences were found on pain, reaction time (RT) scores in favor of the IKT groupwhen the post-treatment results of both groups were compareden_US
