Yergason’s test is a simple, quick physical test used to help detect problems with your biceps tendon, specifically, the long head of the biceps tendon. This tendon connects your biceps muscle to the top of your shoulder joint. Yergason’s test can also detect a tear in your transverse humeral ligament, SLAP tear and biceps tendonitis.
The test was devised in 1931 for detecting bicipital tendonitis. It is however now clear that the pain may arise from tenosynovitis, tendinopathy, or a SLAP lesion. It also assesses the ability of the transverse humeral ligament to hold the biceps tendon in the bicipital groove.

Diagnosis can be suspected clinically with anterior shoulder pain made worse with provocative tests and confirmed with MRI studies to evaluate for concurrent pathology.
1 wrz 2009 · Many provocative tests (i.e., Yergason, Neer, Hawkins, and Speed tests) have been developed to isolate pathology of the biceps tendon 12; however, because these tests create impingement...
