Polk's Test | Lateral & Medial Epicondylalgia

👉 To watch the full video, download the Physiotutors app or visit our YouTube channel 🎥📺✨ Phase I of the Polk's test is designed to stress the wrist extensors and supinators, such as the extensor carpi radialis brevis and longus, the brachioradialis, and the supinator. The patient is instructed to lift an object of approximately 2.5 kilograms, or 5 pounds—in the original description, a heavy book—with the elbow flexed and the forearm pronated (so with the palm facing down). This test is positive for lateral epicondylalgia if pain is felt in the lateral epicondyle. Phase II of the Polk's test is designed to stress the wrist flexors and pronators, such as the flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor digitorum superficialis, palmaris longus, pronator quadratus, and pronator teres. To perform the test, the patient is instructed to pick up the book again, but now with a flexed elbow and the forearm supinated (so with the palm facing up). This test is positive for medial epicondylalgia if pain is felt in the medial epicondyle. #Physiotutorsapp #Physiotutors #clinicalpatterns #learning #dpt
