The purpose of the Cozen's test is to check for lateral epicondylalgia, or tennis elbow.
Technique
To perform the 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 clinician. The test is considered positive if it produces pain or reproduction of other symptoms in the area of the lateral epicondyle.
It's said positive if a resisted wrist extension triggers pain to the patient. The test is performed with extended elbow.
