结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale.
时间窗: Assessments were performed at baseline (week 0) and post intervention (week 6).
A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to measure pain intensity during rest. The level of pain was recorded on a 10 cm line where 0 was classified as "no pain" and 10 was classified as "worst possible pain". Subjects were asked to indicate their pain level by placing a mark along this horizontal line
Goniometer
时间窗: Assessments was performed at baseline (week 0) and post intervention (week 6).
ROM measured was used a standard universal goniometer, which is considered a valid, reliable, and widely accepted clinical tool for assessing joint angles in musculoskeletal conditions. Measurements were taken for wrist flexion, wrist extension, and elbow movements, following standardized positioning and landmark alignment to ensure consistency and accuracy.
Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) questionnaire
时间窗: Assessments was performed at baseline (week 0) and post intervention (week 6).
Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) questionnaire The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) questionnaire is an instrument that has been developed specifically for use with this disorder \[16\]. It takes the form of a 15-item questionnaire, with five items addressing pain and 10 concerned with functional deficit. For each item, the respondent uses a 0- 10 numerical scale to rate the average pain or difficulty they have experienced over the previous week while carrying out various activities that are commonly painful in tennis elbow. The marking system ensures that pain and function are weighted equally in the total score. Higher scores represent greater se- verity and the maximum score is 100
