The primary endpoint is evaluated a first time via an ultrasound exam.
Ultrasound of the elbow 2, days 7 to 15
The primary endpoint is evaluated a second time by a second practitioner.
Ultrasound of the elbow 3, days 45 to 90
A third ultrasound is performed only on tennis elbow patients between days 45 and 90.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Epicondylar surface movement relative to the supinators - extensor carpi radialis brevis and longus (affected elbow) The movement of the superficial epicondyliens relative to the supinator is studied via ultrasound and classified as follows: A) good interface movement in both directions; B) good movement in only 1 direction; C) bad movement over less than half of the interface; D) bad movement over a majority of the interface; E) no movement along the interface. Days 7 to 15
Primary Epicondylar surface movement relative to the supinators - extensor carpi radialis brevis and longus (good elbow) The movement of the superficial epicondyliens relative to the supinator is studied via ultrasound and classified as follows: A) good interface movement in both directions; B) good movement in only 1 direction; C) bad movement over less than half of the interface; D) bad movement over a majority of the interface; E) no movement along the interface. Days 7 to 15
Secondary Visual Analog Scale for pain A visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 100 is used to evaluate pain. Baseline
Secondary Visual Analog Scale for pain A visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 100 is used to evaluate pain. Between days 45 and 90
Secondary Q-Dash Questionnaire The Quick DASH questionnaire is used to evaluate functional changes. Baseline
Secondary Q-Dash Questionnaire The Quick DASH questionnaire is used to evaluate functional changes. Between 45 and 90 days
Secondary Thickness of the ECR longus and ECR brevis interface The thickness of the interface between the extensor carpi radialis (ECR) longus and the extensor carpi radialis brevis is measured during the ultrasound (mm) Between days 7 and 15
Secondary Thickness of the ECR longus and ECR brevis interface, tennis elbow patients only The thickness of the interface between the extensor carpi radialis (ECR) longus and the extensor carpi radialis brevis is measured during the ultrasound (mm) Between days 45 and 90
Secondary Thickness of the ECR -supinator interface The thickness of the intersection (at the base) between the Extensor Carpi Radialis (ECR) muscles and the supinator is measured during ultrasound (mm) Between 7 and 15 days
