What the authors concluded
Improvements for elbow extension and shoulder flexion strength and for VAS movement were observed only in the PBMT group, whereas improvement of handgrip strength was present in both groups (p < 0.05). However, handgrip strength was superior in the PBMT group than in the ESWT group (p = 0.02)." Comment: A black-and-white photograph of PBM application is included in the full text.
