简要总结
The aim of the present intervention is to determine the effectiveness of the application of tissue flossing in patients with tennis elbow
详细描述
The application of tissue flossing has been deemed to provide beneficial results in patients with ankle range of motion limitation. Although, tissue flossing is widely extended among athletes due to its effectiveness in pain, function and range of motion, the evidence is limited.
The aim of the present protocol is to determine the effectiveness of tissue flossing in patients with tennis elbow.
