Sensorimotor Deficits Remain Despite Resolution of Symptoms Using Conservative Treatment in Patients With Tennis Elbow: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Flow of participants through the study.

Sensorimotor measures of upper limb reaction time and speed of movement were tested using the Sensorimotor Interface Hand Module of the Human Performance Measurement/Basic Elements of Performance system.^a

Significant differences in reaction time and speed of movement between men and women at baseline (means and 95% CIs). Abbreviation: AS, affected speed; US, unaffected speed; ASRT, affected reaction time; USRT, unaffected reaction time.

Significant differences in reaction time and speed of movement between dominant and nondominant affected sides at baseline (means and 95% CIs). Abbreviation: RT, reaction time; Speed-2, speed of movement 2.

Significant differences in reaction time between age subgroups (decades) at baseline (means and 95% CIs). Abbreviations: ART2, affected reaction time 2-choice; USRT, unaffected simple reaction time.

Significant differences in reaction time between participants, subgrouped according to duration of condition at baseline (about the median=22wk; means and 95% CIs). Abbreviation: ASRT, affected simple reaction time.

Reaction times for the total LE group over time (means and 99% CIs) and normative data (means and 99% CIs) for SRT, 1-choice reaction time (RT1), and 2-choice reaction time (RT2). Normative data (means and 99% CIs) are represented by the gray bands.

Speed of movement 1 for the total LE group over time (means and 99% CIs). Normative data (means and 99% CIs) are represented by the gray bands.

Speed of movement 2 for the total LE group over time (means and 99% CIs). Normative data (means and 99% CIs) are represented by the gray bands.
