Although several treatments are available for LE, the optimal evidence-based treatment remains uncertain. Joint protection techniques have been developed as a self-management intervention to reduce pain and disability and improve functionality by applying ergonomic approaches. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the effects of telephone-based follow up on top of a home-based joint protection education programme on pain and functionality in individuals with LE. METHODS: Individuals were randomly assigned into 2 groups; 1) telephone-based group, receiving telephone-based follow-up on top of a home-based joint protection education programme, and 2) home-based group, receiving home-based joint protection education alone. Both groups were given training that increased awareness in LE and home-based exercise programme. In addition, telephone-based group was followed up by telephone three days a week for four weeks. RESULTS: Improvements from baseline to 4th week in Turkish version of the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation-pain (p\u200a=\u200a0.001; effect size\u200a=\u200a1.11) and function (p\u200a&lt;\u200a0.001; effect size\u200a=\u200a1.77), Upper Extremity Functional Index (p\u200a=\u200a0.001; effect size\u200a=\u200a0.85) and The Turkish version of the Joint Protection Behavior Assessment-Short Form (p\u200a&lt;\u200a0.001; effect size\u200a=\u200a1.54) in the telephone-based group were significantly higher than the improvements in the home-based group. CONCLUSIONS: Telephone-based follow-up in individuals with LE contributed to the awareness of pain, functionality and joint protection methods. Telephone-based joint protection education programmes can offer a health service within the scope of preventive and protective intervention programmes for LE.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/wor-211002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,14]],"date-time":"2022-06-14T13:38:27Z","timestamp":1655213907000},"page":"1421-1428","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Telephone-based joint protection education in lateral epicondylitis: A randomized controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"72","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0351-1821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00d6zg\u00fc","family":"\u0130nal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Therapy, Faculty of G\u00fclhane Health Science, Health Science University, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9322-8052","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Berna","family":"Tun\u00e7er","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health Sciences, Trakya University, Edirne, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/WOR-211002_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Pitzer ME , Seidenberg PH , Bader DAJMC .ElbowTendinopathy.2014;98(4): 833\u201349.","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mcna.2014.04.002"},{"issue":"6","key":"10.3233\/WOR-211002_ref2","first-page":"482","article-title":"Frostick SPJTCjop","volume":"23","author":"Alizadehkhaiyat","year":"2007","journal-title":"Pain, functional disability, and psychologic status in tennis elbow"},{"issue":"5","key":"10.3233\/WOR-211002_ref4","first-page":"315","article-title":"Laak JtJAjoim.
