      <hc_freetext>tennis elbow.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group:the clasp elbow splint is made with hourse-shoe rigid thermoplastic material which covers two-third of forearm circumferential at the dorsal surface. This splint is fitted on the forarm using a velcro strp. The inner surface of the splint is covered with a soft foam material. At the lateral aspect of the splint, a textured silicon pad with semicirculare projections is placed to provide skin stimulation at the lesion site. Intervention 2: Intervention group: elbow strap is an 8-cm-wide neoprene band fitted 2.5 cm below the elbow. A double layered neoprene pad was incorporated in the forearm band to apply a direct pressure to the origin of the extensor muscles. The elbow strap had a 5-cm-wide non-elastic strap to adjust the pressure on the pad. Intervention 3: Intervention group: placebo orthosis which is an 5 cmwide elastice neoperene band and is fitted 10 cm above the elbow using a velcro strap. Fitting the strap above the elbow is to prevent any effect that this splint might have on the lesion. Intervention 4: Control group: No orthosis, without wearing any splint.</i_freetext>
