Purpose

The purpose of the Golfer's Elbow test is to screen the patient for medial epicondylalgia.
Technique
[edit | edit source]
The patient can be seated or standing for this test. The therapist palpates the medial epicondyle and supports the elbow with one hand, while the other hand supinates the forearm and extends the wrist and elbow.[1] If pain is reproduced in the area of the medial epicondyle, then this test is considered positive.
