Background: Tennis elbow is a common musculoskeletal disorder affecting the functional activities of daily living through common extensor tendinopathy. There is a limited knowledge about neural restriction as a source of movement limitation in patients with tennis other than enriched joint mobilization techniques knowledge. Objectives: This study will be designed to determine the efficacy of adding different mobilization techniques along with eccentric exercises on elbow pain intensity, functional disability, hand grip strength and pain pressure in patients with chronic tennis elbow. Methods: Forty five patients with lateral epicondylitis with their ages ranged from 18 and 45 more than six weeks will be randomly assigned into three groups. Group A will receive Maitland joint mobilization techniques. Patients in group B will receive Mulligan mobilization techniques while patient in group C will receive radial nerve mobilization.. Both groups will receive eccentric exercises for wrist extensors . Patients will be treated three session per week for four week and they will be evaluated pre and post treatment for pain severity using by visual analogue scale, level of functionality by DASH questionnaire, hand grip strength by hand held dynamometer and pressure pain threshold(PPT) by pressure algometer. Results: All the outcome variables will be assessed at baseline and 4weeks following the treatment period.
