Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is a painful musculoskeletal condition, which is considered to be due to overuse, over-stress or over-exertion of the wrist extensors of the forearm, especially extensor carpi radialis brevi.
The aim of this study is to The compare the short-term effects of different physiotherapy approaches on pain, function and grip strength in the rehabilitation of patients with lateral epicondylitis.
Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is a painful musculoskeletal condition, which is considered to be due to overuse, over-stress or over-exertion of the wrist extensors of the forearm, especially extensor carpi radialis brevi. Different treatment approaches are described in the literature. The primary aim of the treatment approaches are decrease the pain and improve the functional level in patients with lateral epicondylitis. Thus, decreasing pain and regaining the functional performance in the daily living activity is essential in early diagnosed patients.
The aim of this study is to compare the short-term effects of different treatment approaches on pain, function and grip strength in the rehabilitation of patients with lateral epicondylitis.

pain assessment
pain intensity will de assessed by using Visual Analog Scale at rest, activity and at night. All assessment will be recorded at baseline and at the end of the three week treatment sessions
Time frame: from baseline to third week after treatment sessions
functional assessment
functional status will be assessed by using Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Scale (PRTEE). All assessment will be recorded at baseline and at the end of the three week treatment sessions
Time frame: from baseline to third week after treatment sessions
maximum grip strength evaluation
maximum grip strength will be assessed with hand dynamometer both elbow flexion and extension position. All assessment will be recorded at baseline and at the end of the three week treatment sessions
Time frame: from baseline to third week after treatment sessions
