A–E. The resisted isometric component of STT testing for the elbow. Resisted flexion incriminates the biceps or brachialis. Pain on resistive extension suggests a triceps lesion. Resisted pronation will incriminate the pronator teres or is suggestive of golfer's elbow. Resisted supination will produce pain along with elbow flexion if the biceps is involved. Pain on resisted wrist flexion is indicative of golfer's elbow. Pain on resisted wrist extension is indicative of tennis elbow. A. Resisted elbow flexion. B. Resisted elbow extension. C.
