Measuring clinically important change with the Patient-rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation
Watson, Tim; Poltawski, Leon (2011)The Patient-rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) enables quantitative rating by the patient of pain and functional impairment associated with tennis elbow or lateral elbow tendinopathy. When used as an outcome measure in ... -
Microcurrent Therapy in the Management of Chronic Tennis Elbow
Poltawski, Leon (2011-03-10)Microcurrent therapy (MCT) involves the application of sub-sensory electric current and can promote tissue repair, possibly by mimicking endogenous electrical cues for healing. It has been used successfully to treat ... -
Microcurrent Therapy in the Management of Chronic Tennis Elbow : Pilot Studies to Optimize Parameters
Poltawski, Leon; Johnson, Mark; Watson, Tim (2012)In microcurrent therapy (MCT), low-intensity electric current is applied to promote tissue healing and relieve symptoms. MCT is used with recalcitrant skin and bone lesions, but little is known about its effects on ... -
Reliability of sonographic assessment of tendinopathy in tennis elbow
Poltawski, Leon; Ali, Syed; Jayaram, Vijay; Watson, Tim (2012-01)To assess the reliability and compute the minimum detectable change using sonographic scales to quantify the extent of pathology and hyperaemia in the common extensor tendon in people with tennis elbow. The lateral elbows ... -
