One hundred and two tennis players<br> (64 males and 38 females) suffering from lateral epicondylitis and 40 tennis player with no lateral epicondylitis participated in this study. In order to determine the construct validity, the correlation between the Persian version of the PRTEE and disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire (DASH) were all investigated. The reliability of the questionnaire was determined from two different aspects of the test-retest reliability and internal consistency.<br> <strong>Results: </strong>There was a high correlation between PRTEE and DASH questionnaires<br> (r = 0.88). The coefficient of Cronbach&rsquo;s alpha for the total score of the PRTEE questionnaire was 0.96 and the intra-class correlation (ICC) coefficient for the total score was 0.95. There was a significant difference in the scores of patients (M=45.56, SD=20.56) and healthy (M=7.23, SD=5.5) tennis players; (t =17.31, P<0.0001).<br> <strong>Conclusion: </strong>The Persian version of the PRTEE questionnaire to assess pain and functional problems in patients with lateral epicondylitis is highly reliable and valid in this setting.</span><br> &nbsp;</div> PRTEE questionnaire, Reliability, Validity, Lateral epicondylitis. 17 26 http://fdj.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-27-18&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Ali Mansoori علی منصوری 10031947532846001343 10031947532846001343 No MSc.
