All the subjects were assessed before and after plying the tabla for pain, swelling, tenderness and redness by using the VAS and other scales which were mentioned in questionnaire respectively. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS software. Chi2 -test was used to find out the incidence of reoccurrence of above said symptoms in the subjects and to analyze the significance of p-values. Results: It was predicted in the research before collecting data that there can be high incidence of tennis elbow in professional tabla players as there is over use of wrist extensors during playing tabla.
