Introduction[edit | edit source]
An outcome measure is a tool through which we can measure the current status of the patient. It provides a score , an interpretation of results and even the level of risk for the patient. Before providing any intervention, the outcome measure provides the base line data. The initial results may help to decide the intervention. After beginning of the treatment , the same tool helps to determine if the treatment is effective or not. Outcomes measures provides reliable justification for the treatment of the patient at an individual level.
The following outcome measures are recommended for consistency in clinical settings.
PROM : Patient Reported Outcome Measures[edit | edit source]
These are important tools used in clinical practice by a physiotherapist. They provide the feedback on the health condition of the patient , and it comes directly from the patient without any interpretation from the healthcare provider. It is a questionnaire (paper or electronic based) which has instructions and completed independently by the patient.
In lateral epicondyle tendinopathy there is one type of patient reported outcome measure which is commonly used- Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation. The other outcome measures are Numeric Pain Rating Scale. This is not specially designed for lateral Epicondyle Tendinopathy and is considered a generic one.
Population specific outcome measure(Designated and validated for LET)[edit | edit source]
Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation(PRTEE)[edit | edit source]
- 15 item questionnaire
- Two subcales :Pain (5 items)and Function (10 items)
- Score converted to 100% max score
- 5MCID =112, MDC=93
Generic Outcome Measure ( Not specifically designed for LET)[edit | edit source]
Numeric Pain rating Scale[edit | edit source]
- 15 item Questionnaire (0-10)
- It is not validated for lateral epicondylitis but psychometric properties are consistent across a variety of musculoskeletal disorders.
- MCID=2 , MDC=2
Performance Based Outcome Measure (Clinician -Reported)[edit | edit source]
- Pain free grip is more clinically relevant than maximum grip testing, as gripping
