normal ROM elbow flexion
0-145 degrees
limiting factors elbow flexion
apposition/size of biceps
tension in extensor muscles - triceps
posterior bands of collateral ligaments
normal ROM elbow extension
0 degrees- 0-10 may be present in hyperextension
elbow extension limiting factors
anterior bands of collateral ligaments
tension in flexor muscles- biceps and brachialis

what 2 tests can be used to identify lateral epicondylitis
Mill’s test and Maudsley’s test
how to conduct Mill’s test
with one hand palpate over lateral epicondyle of humerus
with other hand, passively pronate forearm, flex wrist and extend elbow
positive Mill’s test
familiar pain over the lateral epicondyle region
how to conduct Maudsley’s test
position model’s arm into elbow extension and pronation
instruct model to extend 3rd digit against your resistance
positive Maudsley’s test
familiar pain produced over lateral epicondyle
what does the stretch test test for
medial epicondylitis
