Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
pain and function	first month	The Lateral Epicondylitis Function Scale; This scale is specially designed to evaluate patients with LE
beahviour	first month	Joint Protection Behavior Assessment-Short Form; evaluate the behavior of individuals during daily activities that require using the hands
function	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
hand grip strength	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.
