简要总结
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of three common techniques for the treatment of lateral epicondylosis. Through objective and subjective assessments this study will determine the effectiveness of the Astym Treatment Technique, the Graston Treatment Technique, and therapeutic ultrasound in the conservative treatment of lateral epicondylosis. It is hypothesized that the more manual Astym technique and Graston technique will produce more significant results than the more frequently utilized ultrasound.
