Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Visual analog Scale (VAS) for pain to will be carried out for each patient individually before, immediately after treatment and 2 months after end of treatment. | amount of pain the VAS scale will be employed, where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "most severe pain | 3 months | |
Primary | rated-tennis-elbow-questionnaire for hand function assessment | score from that questionnaire Pain Subscale - Add up 5 items. Best score = 0; Worst score = 50 Specific Activities - Add up 6 items Best Score = 0; Worst Score = 60 Usual Activities - Add up 4 items items Best Score = 0; Worst Score = 40 Function Subscale - (Specific Activities + Usual Activities) /2 Best score = 0; Worst score = 50 Total Score = Pain Subscale + Function Subscale Best Score = 0; Worst Score = 100 (pain and disability contribute equally to score) | 3 months | |
Primary | Grip strength will be measured using the CAMRY digital hand dynamometer, model EH101 | Device used to test the hand grib strength | 3 months | |
Secondary | For patient selection Mill's Test | Patient's lateral epicondyle palpated with one hand, while pronating the patient's forearm, fully flexing the wrist, the elbow extended. Decided it a positive test when we found pain in the area of insertion at lateral epicondyle. | Before the study for patient selection | |
Secondary | Maudsley's test | The examiner resists extension of the 3rd digit of the hand, stressing the extensor digitorum muscle and tendon, while palpating the patient's lateral epicondyle. A positive test is indicated by pain over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. | Before the study for patient selection | |
Secondary | Cozen's Test | To perform Cozen's test,patient seated, the therapist stabilizes the patient's elbow in 90 degrees of flexion with one hand while palpating over the lateral epicondyle. The other hand positions the patient's hand into radial deviation and forearm pronation while the patient is asked to resisted wrist extension in this position against manual resistance of the therapist. The test is considered positive if it produces pain or reproduction of other symptoms in the area of the lateral epicondyle. | Before the study for patient selection |
