A Potential Classification Model for Individuals with Tennis Elbow

The complexities associated with the anatomy, biomechanics, and pathophysiology of lateral epicondylalgia have resulted in numerous treatment options for this common overuse syndrome. Choosing an appropriate treatment option from such an array can be challenging. To assist therapists with this challenge, these authors created a classification model that categorizes patients by using information from common signs and symptoms. Such categorization can assist therapists in identifying appropriate treatment options.—V ictoria P riganc , PhD, OTR, CHT, CLT, Practice Forum Editor
