MEDIAL EPICONDYLALGIA TEST / GOLFER'S ELBOW TEST The following test is a quick method to assess for a golfer's elbow. It stresses all muscles that are arising from the medial epicondyle by maximally stretching them. Of course, a logical follow-up test could be to have your patient make a fist and have him flex the wrist against resistance (like in the Cozen's test for tennis elbow) N.B. 60% of all cases of Medial Epicondylalgia involve the ulnar nerve as well! | Physiotutors

ELBOW EXTENSION TEST FOR OLECRANON FRACTURES In their multi-center validation study Appelboam et al. in the year 2008 evaluated the elbow extension test and found a sensitivity of 96,8%% and a low specificity of 48,5 % for in the detection of elbow fractures in children from the age of 3 and adults combined. For this reason, this test has a high clinical value to rule out elbow fractures in practice. | Physiotutors
