Mill's (Tennis Elbow) Test

Examination type

Tendon pathology

Patient & Body Segment Positioning

The patient is sitting and relaxed throughout the test.

Examiner Position

The examiner has one hand on the lateral epicondyle to palpate and the other on the patient’s wrist.

Performing the Test

The examiner passively pronates the forearm while fully flexing the wrist and extending the elbow of the involved arm. At the same time, the examiner should be palpating the lateral epicondyle.

Tissues Being Tested

Pronator teres and pronator quadratus muscles, flexors of the wrist and fingers, radial nerve, lateral epicondyle of the humerus

Positive Test

Increasing pain during the movement over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.

Interpretation

A positive test indicates the possibility of tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis.

Common errors in performing exam

Difficulty in pronating the arm, flexing the wrist, and extending the elbow with only one hand.

Factors possibly resulting in misinterpretation

This test also stresses and compresses the radial nerve which can produce symptoms similar to those of tennis elbow. Electroradiodiagonostic studies can help differentiate between tennis elbow and radial nerve pathology.
