| 0:22.4 | question, tune in to the end of this episode. And I'm going to give you more information on how to |
| 0:27.7 | get that. All right. So for our next MPT clinical file, we have Sal. And Sal is researching |
| 0:33.5 | the effectiveness of a forearm band prototype on grip strength. |
| 0:39.0 | The study will be performed on 150 subjects with lateral epicondylagia. |
| 0:45.1 | One group will receive the band, and the other group will receive education regarding self-treatment of their condition. |

| 1:50.5 | So that helps, you know, me to get that like picture, |
