Table 3.
Correlation analysis between presence of relevant MTrPs, forearm pain level, and LE medical diagnosis.
| Presence of relevant MTrPs in EDC and/or ECRB | LE diagnosis Cramer's V Coefficient (p value) |
Presence of forearm pain Cramer's V Coefficient (p value) |
|---|---|---|
| E.1 | 0.541 (p > 0.001) | 0.684 (p > 0.001) |
| E.2 | 0.459 (p > 0.001) | 0.606 (p > 0.001) |
| E.3 | 0.022 (p = 0.873) | 0.135 (p = 0.400) |
TrP: myofascial trigger point; E.1, E.2: expert evaluators on myofascial diagnosis; E.3: evaluator without experience on myofascial diagnosis; ECRB: extensor carpi radialis brevis; EDC: extensor digitorum communis; LE: lateral epicondylalgia; (∗) = p Value < 0.001.
