Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Function
Time Frame: baseline
Fuction will be evaluated with Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation. The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE), is a 15-item questionnaire designed to measure forearm pain and disability in patients with lateral epicondylitis. The PRTEE allows patients to rate their levels of tennis elbow pain and disability from 0 to 10, and consists of 2 subscales: Pain subscale - 5 items (0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable) Function subscale (0 = no difficulty, 10 = unable to do) Specific activities - 6 items Usual activities - 4 items
Secondary Outcomes
- Pain severity(Baseline)
- Motor imagery(Baseline)
- Grip strength(Baseline)
- The Body Awareness(Baseline)
