So the need arises to find out the prevalence of lateral epicondylitis in housemaids. Aim: To find out prevalence of lateral epicondylitis in housemaids. Objective: To assess the lateral epicondylitis on dominant hand in housemaids by using Cozens test. To assess the pain by using Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). To assess effect of epicondylitis on the strength of wrist and elbow joint. Methodology: In this observational study 136 housemaids between the age group 18-45 years were included by using convenient sampling technique and having work experience of minimum 6 month with working hour minimum 6-7 hr/ day. Lateral epicondylitis were assessed by using Cozens test. Result: Total 136 housemaids the prevalence of cozens test were 69.12% were positive , 30.12% were negative. To check pain by using NPRS 69.12% were in the worst pain ,28.68% were moderate pain. The strength of extensor muscles of elbow affected in lateral epicondylitis. Conclusion: The aim of the study to find out prevalence of lateral epicondylitis in housemaids. In this study the housemaids are more prone for lateral epicondylitis.
