| Scientific title | |
| Study hypothesis | 1.To investigate whether muscle function (EMG) and thermal changes show a relationship with pain/inflammation 2. To investigate the immediate effects on muscle function using EMG and on inflammation using thermographic analysis in the different treatment groups. 3. To investigate the sustainability of EMG and thermographic changes in the different treatment groups. 4. To determine whether EMG and thermography can be altered solely by the alieviation of pain/inflammation through injection and ultrasound alone or physiotherapy rehabilitation. 5. To evaluate whether therapy resistant patients I.e. patients who do not respond to treatment can be differentiated from non resistant cases through EMG studies and thermographic analysis. 6. To develop prognostic indications for patients with tennis elbow. |
