Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
The Numerical Rating Scale (NPRS-11) is an 11-point scale for self-report of pain. It is the most commonly used unidimensional pain scale. The respondent selects a whole number (integers 0-10) that best reflects the intensity (or other quality if requested of his/her pain.

Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT)
PPT measurement will be made using an algometer. It will be evaluated with an digital algometer over the lateral epicondyle in both upper extremities.

Hand Grip Strength
Handgrip strength (HGS) is a simple and reliable measurement of maximum voluntary muscle strength. It is an important tool for diagnosing sarcopenia and is widely used as a single indicator to represent overall muscle strength. To assess grip strength, the Jamar dynamometer will be used which is recommended by the American Society for Surgery of the Hand and the American Society of Hand Therapists.
