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.
30 paź 2024 · An increase in pain suggests a SLAP lesion, while a decrease in apprehension or pain makes a SLAP lesion unlikely. The Active Compression Test (O’Brien Test, Flexion-Adduction Test) may be helpful for diagnosing SLAP lesions.
For ruling in a SLAP lesion, the greatest diagnostic value should likely be placed on a positive finding on the passive compression test. Suggestions for future research are provided. Keywords...
The Yergason’s test was primarily designed to test the transverse humeral ligament, which holds a long biceps tendon in the bicipital groove. According to the RCT by Micheroli et al. (2015) it has a sensitivity of 32% and a specificity of 88% for biceps pathology.
25 sty 2017 · We suggest that clinicians choose their PETS among those with the highest rank of pooled DOR (Compression rotation, Yergason, Anterior apprehension or Crank tests for SLAP lesions; Hawkins-Kennedy for subacromial impingement and the supraspinatus/empty can/Jobe’s test for full thickness rotator cuff tears).
18 lip 2013 · The goal of this article is to provide a current best-evidence synthesis with regard to physical examination tests used for the diagnosis of SLAP lesions. A literature search yielded 17 studies that investigated the diagnostic utility of clinical tests for SLAP lesions.
The Yergason and anterior slide test combination was the most specific 2-test combination in parallel and series.
