Purpose 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.

Technorati Tags: lateral epicondyle, tennis elbow

I have been diagnosed as having a sprain exerted on my common extensor origin from the lateral epicondyle and a severe jarrig effect on the outer aspect of my left elbow.
The consultant has written that activity modification and elbow clasps and even cortizone injections may be necessary -
- YET he has also written (to my sheer disbelief) that he believes the injury should have no long term job related implications.
In my belief tennis elbow will have a little place on insurance forms and application forms for various occupations.
As I am licenced to deliver all goods of a hazardous nature including explosive- I have doubts in my own abilities as to whether my arm will be an element to consider when evaluating potential threat/ danger etc.
Do you think I am right or do you think I’m paranoid and no employer or insurance company can legally differentiate or be prejudiced against me after suffering this condition?
Do insurers or employers have prejudice for this ?
