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.

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
