Lateral Epicondylitis
Conditions
Brief summary
Conservative treatments follow the vast majority of treatments in lateral epicondylitis. In this research, we aimed to elucidate the treatment outcomes of patients via epicondylitis bandage, wrist dorsiflexion splint, and kinesio tape groups by sequential randomization and to compare treatment outcomes.
