Tennis Elbow Oracle FAQ

Heavy Slow Resistance (HSR) with strict eccentric tempo (3-second lowering), daily traffic-light calibration, and 5-stage progression: Acute Phase → Early Rehab → Conditioning → Strength → Sport-Proofing. Built on the ICON 2019 Consensus, Cook & Purdam continuum model, Kongsgaard HSR study, NICE CKS, and AAOS OrthoInfo.

Every page cites peer-reviewed or guideline sources in JSON-LD and in the Evidence section on the landing page. Primary: ICON 2019 (BJSM), Cook & Purdam 2009 (BJSM), Kongsgaard 2009 (Scand J Med Sci Sports), NICE Clinical Knowledge Summaries, AAOS OrthoInfo.

Daily, calibrated. Morning traffic-light check sets dose: green = full session, amber = 10–20% load drop, red = rest. Most users complete 5–6 loaded sessions + 1–2 active-recovery days per week. About 15 minutes per session.

Up to 4/10 during the set on a 0–10 scale. Stop the set if pain exceeds 4/10. Post-session pain that returns to baseline within 24h is fine. A persistent spike >2 points above baseline at 24h = drop next session's load by ~10%.

Rate morning stiffness 0–10. App maps: 0–3 green (full session), 4–5 amber (hold load), 6+ red (rest/active recovery). Drives auto-regression on the day's plan and the weekly trend chart.

Typical arc: 12–16 weeks. Chronic cases (>6 months baseline pain) take longer. Return-to-play requires pain-free 100% grip, pain-free resisted wrist extension, and one full Sport-Proofing session without flare.

No. Tennis Elbow Oracle is an educational and self-management tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult a qualified clinician before starting.

Full 5-stage program, audio-guided eccentric metronome, pain trend chart and weekly insights, auto-regression on red days, equipment auto-swap, weekly clinician PDF export.

Yes. Pro users export a weekly clinician PDF: morning stiffness trend, session adherence, per-exercise load progression, pain-flag events.

A scalable dumbbell (1–10 kg), a resistance band, and a chair. Pro's equipment auto-swap remaps exercises to dumbbell, band, kettlebell, or weighted bar.

Yes. Lateral epicondylitis pathology is identical across racket sports. Sport-Proofing drills (wall volleys, controlled feeds) transfer to padel, squash, badminton, pickleball.

Calendar weeks don't reflect tendon adaptation. Sets advance on biological signal (3 consecutive pain-free sessions at load), not elapsed time.

No third-party ad SDKs. Firebase Analytics for product telemetry only, never resold. No data brokers.

Android (Google Play) and iOS (App Store, in review). Built with React Native, Expo SDK 55.
