Strengths and limitations of this study
lateral elbow tendinopathy
This qualitative study explores the impact of lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) on everyday life from the perspective of the individual.Individuals from a range of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds contributed their views and opinions.We acknowledge that qualitative studies draw on the opinions of those interviewed and may not be representative of the wider population; however, our aim was in-depth exploration of these views.The opinions presented are from people accessing healthcare for LET and so may not reflect the views of those who do not access healthcare for LET, due to lower symptom severity, stoicism or inaccessibility.
