A Randomized Clinical Controlled Study Comparing the Effectiveness of the Astym Technique, the Graston Technique, and Therapeutic Ultrasound in the Treatment of Lateral Epicondylosis.
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.
