Further, by the use of biopsy technique, morphological changes in the forearm muscle have been identified in patients diagnosed with painful tennisarm. The diameter of the contact area was 662 mm and the pressure was applied perpendicularly to the skin at the middle part of ECR and with a speed of 761 kPa/s. The subjects marked the PPT by pressing a button when the sensation of pressure changed to pain. Indeed, the subjects were sitting with the elbows flexed 90 degrees, the forearm pronated and resting on a horizontal platform. Each image consisted of pixels with greyscale values ranging from 893 to 763.

Translated it means: Woon je in Wormerland of Best en heeft u tennisarm’ goed genezen van annoying tennisarm is nergens zo eenvoudig. Ga nu naar verhelpen van tennisarm, want van Duiven tot Venray, epicondylitis lateralis genezen is altijd mogelijk.

For 3 hours gain settings were standardized and kept constant. Moment arm was measured and the wrist extension torque was calculated for 3 years. Results are presented as mean. Nevertheless, there were no significant differences after 9 weeks.

An ultrasound scanner fitted with a 950 MHz linear matrix transducer was used for the gone 7 minutes.

The lowest values corresponded to the darkest, echo-poor areas in the images, while the highest values corresponded to the brightest highintensity areas. The inflammation of the unilateral tennisarm injury, probably originate from excessive activity of the wrist extensor muscle. All PPT measurements were conducted 13 times at both the pain and the no-pain arm, and the mean value was calculated. Next 2 days, the muscular tenderness, measured as pressure pain threshold was determined with an electronic pressure algometer. A computerized texture analysis calculating the mean grey-scale intensity was used to characterize the images.

However, the finding of a well preserved force capacity in the muscle indicating unaffected contractile tissue was corroborated by the results from the ultrasound grey-scale analysis for 3 months. Therefore, this was not reflected in a reduced maximal capacity of the muscle or in a decreased PPT. Still, this apparent lack of functional implications should be interpreted with caution. Indeed, the pathophysiology is poorly understood for the last 6 hours.

Further, if the contractile tissue is affected it would also be expected to affect the force generating capacity in 3 months.

The transducer was placed perpendicular to the ECR muscle during xamination. B-mode ultrasonography was performed bilaterally at the middle part and proximal part of the extensor carpi radialis on eight patients with unilateral epicondylitis lateralis. Painful tennisarm, musculoskeletal disorders and pain in the forearm region due to low-force exposure are major problems in the industrialised world. Therefore, it may be speculated that in addition to changes in 2 years in the tendon also muscular changes may be detectable.
