Measuring Pain Experience in Individuals With Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy

Completed

Conditions studied: Elbow Tendinopathy, Tendinopathy, Tennis Elbow

In brief

The study will address the gaps in the pain experience measurement in those with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) by building on the current body of literature, as well as applying modern pain science measures. The comprehensive measurement of various biomedical, psychological, and psychosocial constructs will provide pain profiles that will allow for the subclassification of LET to better inform loading prescriptions based on the systemic effects from LET.
