The tennis elbow syndrome has been recognized for a century and received its name more than 90 years ago. In clinical practice, different outcome measures were used to evaluate functional recovery in tennis elbow. This study has used two outcome measures for evaluating the functional recovery in tennis elbow and they are Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and grip strength. Visual analogue scale is a scale which measures pain subjectively. In this, the patient is given a 10 point scale on which they have to mark their pain as mild, moderate or severe. Researchers have evaluated the inter observer reproducible of the assessment of severity of complaints, grip strength and pressure pain threshold in patient with lateral epicondylitis in primary care and they concluded that inter observer reliability of severity of complaints and grip strength was excellent.
