It would be interesting if someone wanted to do a study comparing the two...

From a purely experience point of view, the braces help temporarily but i find that specific taping and the MWMs along with the conditioning programme and stretches as outlined in the protocol are the best so far...
my friend is currently doing his masters thesis looking at the effect of the cuff on EMG activity of the common extensor origin during submaximal exercise- I'll let you know the outcome when he finishes the study!
