| Abstract |
Lateral epicondylalgia (LE) is diagnosed clinically as pain over the lateral elbow that is provoked by gripping. Usually, LE responds well to conservative intervention, however those who fail such treatment require further evaluation, including musculoskeletal ultrasound. Previous studies of musculoskeletal ultrasound have methodological flaws, such as, lack of assessor blinding and failure to control for participant age, sex and arm dominance. The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic utility of blinded ultrasound imaging in people with clinically diagnosed LE compared to a control group matched for age, sex and arm dominance. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 May 2021.
All research outputs
#2,610,368
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Medicine and Science in Sports & Exercise
#2,088
of 7,053 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#29,746
of 273,831 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Medicine and Science in Sports & Exercise
#26
of 50 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,053 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 25.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 273,831 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 50 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
