Maudsley's Test

Maudsley's Test is an orthopedic physical exam technique used to confirm suspected cases of lateral epicondylosis (tennis elbow).

Initial treatments include rest, ice therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications. Physical therapy exercises, bracing, and activity modification are recommended as tennis elbow heals. Severe cases may require injections or surgery for full recovery.

Lateral epicondylosis is caused by overuse of the forearm muscles due to repetitive motions (such as gripping or lifting) leads to microscopic tears in the tendons near the lateral epicondyle, resulting in pain and sometimes inflammation.
