E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy is a common cause for chronic pain in the elbow, where the pain is present for longer than 6 months. Currently, the rationale is that the tendinopathy is the result of the repetitive strain of the hand, wrist and elbow. |
Laterale elleboogtendinopathie (LET) is een veel voorkomende oorzaak van chronische pijn in de elleboog, waarbij de pijn langer dan 6 maanden aanwezig is. Tegenwoordig is de rationale dat de tendinopathie het resultaat is van herhalende belasting van de hand, pols en elleboog, echter het kan ook worden geïnitieerd door een acuut trauma. |
