​TEST POSITIONING

The client is seated with the arm to be tested resting on a table.

The therapist sits opposite the client and stabilizes the involved elbow while palpating along the lateral epicondyle.

ACTION

With a closed fist, the client pronates and radially deviates the forearm and extends the wrist against the therapist's resistance.

POSITIVE FINDING

A report of pain along the lateral epicondyle region of the humerus or objective muscle weakness as a result of complaints of discomfort may indicate lateral epicondylitis.
