• Define lateral epicondylalgia, and identify the anatomy involved, incidence and prevalence.
• Identify typical diagnostic and assessment approaches to confirm the diagnosis, and rule out other conditions.
• Determine appropriate outcome measures to use in evaluation and assist with assessing progress.
