The PEPPER test is an orthopedic diagnostic test to get an idea of potential intra-articular findings or laxity in patients from recalcitrant lateral epicondylalgia. Intra-articular findings and minor elbow instability due to patholaxity are possibly factors to lateral epicondylalgia. The authors of this test aim to find a non-invasive way to assess whether pathology or ligamentous laxity is present. To perform this test the therapist supports the arm of the patient with the elbow in a flexed position The examiner palpates the posterior aspect of the radiocapitellar joint The elbow will be pas ..read more

In this video I will show you how to conduct the syndesmosis squeeze test in order to determine a syndesmosis sprain. The syndesmosis is the interosseous membrane that connects the tibia with the fibula and it can get injured with inversion trauma or extra rotational dorsiflexion trauma. To perform the test have your patient in supine lying position and squeeze the proximal fibula and tibia together. Then apply the same compression at more distal places down to the malleolus. According to Nussbaum et al in the length of tenderness above the lateral malleoli indicates severity so the more proxi ..read more
