Purpose
[edit | edit source]
[1] |
The purpose of Cozen's test (also known as the resisted wrist extension test) is to check for lateral epicondylalgia or "tennis elbow".
Technique
[edit | edit source]
To perfrom Cozen's test, the therapist stabilizes the patient's elbow with one hand while the patient is asked to pronate the forearm and extend and radially deviate the wrist against manual resistance of the therapist.[2] The test is considered positive if it produces pain or reproduction of other symptoms in the area of the lateral epicondyle.
