Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Severity of Disability
Time Frame: 12 Months
Measured by Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE)from the scoring between 0-100 at baseline and at the 4th week.
Grip strength:
Time Frame: 12 months
assessed by using modified sphygmomanometer in which it first inflated to 100 mmHg with closed valve. The pressure was reduced to 20mmHg and the resisted wrist extension performed at baseline and at the 4th week.
