This survey explored international physiotherapy practices for assessment of lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two hundred ninety\u2010nine surveyed physiotherapists from eight member countries of the International Federation of Manual and Orthopaedic Physical Therapists completed the survey. Respondents rated their frequency of use (never, rarely, sometimes, often, and always) for items related to: patient history; diagnostic tests; grip and upper limb strength; cervical and neurological assessment; and medical imaging. To establish practices, the five response categories were dichotomised into routine practice (often, always) and not\u2010routine practice (sometimes, rarely, never). A response rate of \u226570% for each dichotomy was used to determine whether an assessment item was deemed routine practice or not, with items not meeting either criterion considered neither routine nor not\u2010routine practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Most respondents were from United States (63%). The \u2018chair pick up test\u2019, \u2018cervical special tests\u2019, and \u2018plain radiograph\u2019 met our criteria for not routine practice (i.e., 70%, 72%, and 71%, respectively). All other assessment items did not meet the criteria to be considered routine or not\u2010routine practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The chair pick\u2010up test, cervical spine special tests (e.g., Spurling's test), and plain radiography appear to not be routinely used in the assessment of LET. The finding that no assessment technique met the criteria for routine use may imply that physiotherapists adopt a nuanced approach to selecting clinical assessment items as opposed to routinely applying tests.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pri.2125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,24]],"date-time":"2024-08-24T07:24:10Z","timestamp":1724484250000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Physiotherapy practices in the clinical assessment of lateral elbow tendinopathy: An international survey"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4510-3324","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luke","family":"Heales","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Musculoskeletal Health and Rehabilitation Research Group School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences College of Health Sciences Central Queensland University  Rockhampton Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bill","family":"Vicenzino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences University of Queensland  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leanne","family":"Bisset","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Menzies Health Institute Queensland Griffith University  Gold Coast Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcus","family":"Bateman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospitals of Derby &amp; Burton NHS Foundation Trust  Derby UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caitlin","family":"Hill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Musculoskeletal Health and Rehabilitation Research Group School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences College of Health Sciences Central Queensland University  Rockhampton Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Crystal","family":"Kean","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Musculoskeletal Health and Rehabilitation Research Group School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences College of Health Sciences Central Queensland University  Rockhampton Queensland Australia"},{"name":"Research Institute for Sport and Exercise University of Canberra  Canberra Australia"},{"name":"Discipline of Sport and Exercise Science, Faculty of Health University of Canberra  Canberra Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleesha","family":"Spyve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Musculoskeletal Health and Rehabilitation Research Group School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences College of Health Sciences Central Queensland University  Rockhampton Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashlee","family":"Jaques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Musculoskeletal Health and Rehabilitation Research Group School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences College of Health Sciences Central Queensland University  Rockhampton Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fergus","family":"Sansom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Musculoskeletal Health and Rehabilitation Research Group School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences College of Health Sciences Central Queensland University  Rockhampton Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Lowe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Musculoskeletal Health and Rehabilitation Research Group School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences College of Health Sciences Central Queensland University  Rockhampton Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven","family":"Obst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Musculoskeletal Health and Rehabilitation Research Group School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences College of Health Sciences Central Queensland University  Rockhampton Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jos.2021.09.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","unstructured":"American Physical Therapy Association.
