Assessment of the Safety and Performance of Elbow Supports in the Context of Epicondylitis or a Return to Sport After Sprain

Assessment of the Safety and Performance of Elbow Supports in the Context of Epicondylitis or a Return to Sport After Sprain

Decathlon has developed elbowMID500 and elbowSTRAP products which are medical devices that must be positioned around the elbow during sport practice, in order to limit symptoms related to epicondylitis or previous sprains (elbowMID500 only).

The objective of this multicentre study is to collect data on the related clinical complications and clinical outcomes of market-approved Decathlon elbowMID500 and elbowSTRAP products to demonstrate safety and performance of these devices in a real-world setting.

Outcome data collected from this study will provide the basis for Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) reporting, Clinical Study Report (CSR), Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) on Decathlon elbowMID500 and elbowSTRAP devices and support peer-reviewed publications on products performance and safety.
