Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental group

Received counterforce forearm brace and conventional therapy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

counterforce forearm brace

Intervention Type DEVICE

a flexible band that fits around the proximal forearm, applying pressure to underlying tissues during activity to potentially reduce acceleration forces and alleviate pain associated with conditions like lateral epicondylitis.

Control group

Received thoracic mobilization and conventional therapy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

thoracic immobilization

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

the methods and devices used to restrict movement of the thoracic spine, which is the upper and middle part of the back.
