A Comparison of Laser and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapies in Treatment of Lateral Epicondylitis Lateral Epikondilitte Lazer ve Ekstrakorporeal Şok Dalga Tedavisi Etkinliklerinin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is a common painful problem of the elbow. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and lowintensity laser therapy in LE treatment. Material and Methods: The study included 60 LE patients. Subjects were divided into two groups randomly. Group 1 received ESWT, while group 2 received laser therapy. Presence of lateral epicondyle tenderness, elbow pain, and hand grip strength (HGS) were evaluated at the beginning and at 4 and 12 weeks. Elbow pain was evaluated with the Short-Form McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ). Results: The patients with tender lateral epicondyle were not significantly different between groups at each time point. Both groups had improvement on HGS evaluated at the 4

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
