Primary outcomes

  1. hand grip strength

    Time frame: first month

    Jamar hand dynamometer; which has high validity and reliability across several studies and is therefore accepted as the gold standard for the measurement of hand grip strength.

  2. pain and function

    Time frame: first month

    The Lateral Epicondylitis Function Scale; This scale is specially designed to evaluate patients with LE

  3. function

    Time frame: first month

    The Upper Extremity Functional Index; Lower scores indicate increased difficulty with the relevant activity resulting from the subject's condition involving the upper limb

  4. beahviour

    Time frame: first month

    Joint Protection Behavior Assessment-Short Form; evaluate the behavior of individuals during daily activities that require using the hands
