Background: Lateral Epicondylitis is the tendinosis of the extensor musculature of the forearm that has their common origin from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus due to angioblastic degeneration. The study aimed to determine and compare the effectiveness of MET and MaRhyThe in individuals with chronic lateral epicondylitis concerning pain, grip strength, and function. Methods: The study was a randomized clinical trial with 30 subjects divided into two equal groups, with 15 subjects in each group. Group A received MET for seven sessions, and Group B received MaRhyThe for one session. Both the groups received hot moist pack and conventional exercises for seven sessions. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) Questionnaire, and Pain-Free Grip Strength (PFGS) were taken as the outcome measures. Results: Within-group paired sample t-test showed statistical significance in VAS at rest, VAS on activity, PRTEE, and PFGS with a p-value of 0.001 for all. However, between-group analysis using independent sample t-test showed statistical significance in VAS on activity and PRTEE with a p-value of 0.049 and 0.029, respectively, and clinical significance for VAS at rest and PFGS for Group B. Conclusion:The study concludes that both MET and MaRhyThe are effective in treating chronic LE concerning pain, improving function, and strength. However, MaRhyThe is more effective in pain reduction and improving functional activities.

“…In a study conducted on patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, improvement in pain, skin temperature, and functional activities was found to be statistically significant after a single session of MRT application. 27 In another study investigating the effect of MRT on plantar fasciitis, the positive effects of the physiotherapy program consisting of matrix rhythm therapy and strengthening exercises on pain, activity limitation, and patient satisfaction were shown. 28 Koc ¸Akgu ¨c ¸et al 29 performed nine MRT sessions on patients with cervical myofascial pain, whereas no intervention was performed in the control group.…”

Study Design. Randomized clinical study. Objective Our study was planned to determine the effect of matrix rhythm therapy (MRT) on pain, level of disability, and quality of life in chronic low back pain. Summary of Background Data. Low back pain is a complex and heterogeneous disorder. Different therapy options can be applied in the treatment of low back pain. In the literature, there are very few studies showing the effect of MRT in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods. A total of 32 participants with a mean age of 36.41 ± 8.91 years were randomly divided into two groups (intervention group and control group). Each participant was treated with ten sessions a combined physiotherapy program (hot pack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, home exercise and patient education program). Additionally, intervention group received six sessions of MRT. Pain (McGill Pain Questionnaire), level of disability (Oswestry Disability Index) and quality of life (Short Form-36) were measured before and after the treatment programme. Results. When pre- and post-treatment results were compared in the intervention group, a statistically significant difference was found in total pain level, disability level, and all subdimensions except the “Emotional Role” subdimension of Short Form-36 (SF-36) and total SF-36 scores (P ≤ 0.05). In the control group, statistically significant differences were found in disability level, the “Vitality” and “Bodily Pain” subdimensions of SF-36 and total SF-36 scores (P ≤ 0.05). When the delta values were compared between groups, there was a statistically significant difference only in the “general health perceptions” subdimension of SF-36 (P ≤ 0.05) in favor of the intervention group. Conclusion. It was determined that both the combined physiotherapy program and the MRT application in addition to the combined physiotherapy program have a positive effect on pain, disability level, and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain. Level of Evidence: 2

“…MRT is an external, dynamic approach that enables the movement of tissues at the cellular level, and it does this by stimulating the matrix fluid with 8-12 Hz vibrations (the same frequency as the brain's alpha rhythm).MRT which maintains the normal physiological function of the body, is used in clinics today as a method for treating dysfunctions occurring at the cellular level, using a cell-based, goal-oriented approach. [7] The vibrating massage tool (matrix mobile) used in MRT creates asymmetric pressure distribution in the tissue, stimulates pumping/suction effect and also stimulates nerve receptors .

Aim: To Assess the awareness and knowledge of matrix rhythm therapy in neurological conditions. Objective: To Assess the awareness of matrix rhythm therapy in neurological conditions by using self-made questionnaire. To Assess the knowledge of matrix rhythm therapy in neurological conditions by using self-made questionnaire. Methodology: 325 Physiotherapists were recruited based on the Inclusion and Exclusion criteria. Information about the study was given to the participants. The procedure of the study was explained to the participants. The validated questionnaire was distributed to various Physiotherapists around Pune through an online platform. i.e. through Google forms. The data was collected and was statistically analysed. Statistics & Results: 325 participants were assessed by using 12 questions out of which 5 were of awareness based and 7 were of knowledge based. Mean and Mean percentage were calculated, which states that 87 % Physiotherapist were aware of Matrix rhythm therapy in neurological conditions and 87% had knowledge for same. Conclusion: The study concluded that 87% Physiotherapist were aware of Matrix rhythm therapy in neurological conditions and 87% had knowledge of MRT in neurological conditions. Clinical Implication: This study can be used to spread awareness and knowledge of Matrix rhythm therapy in neurological conditions among physiotherapist. And implementing it as adjunct with other neurological treatments to enhance recovery. Physiotherapists who are knowledgeable about MRT can contribute to evidence-based practice by staying updated on the latest research findings and clinical guidelines related to MRT in neurological rehabilitation, Key words: Matrix rhythm therapy, neurological conditions, Stroke, Cerebral palsy
