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.
The physical examination: A combination of two sensitive tests and one specific test is useful to diagnose a SLAP lesion. Sensitive tests include: Compression rotation test; O’Briens test; Apprehension Test; Specific tests include: Speed’s test; Yergason’s test; Biceps load test II; If one of the three tests is positive, this will result ...
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.
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.
14 cze 2023 · Evaluate biceps tendon pathology and instability with Yergason's test. This clinical maneuver helps diagnose shoulder conditions and guide treatment decisions.
1 kwi 2004 · In the setting in which glenohumeral internal rotation deficit is the primary cause of the SLAP lesion and a preoperative posterior-inferior capsular stretching program has not improved internal rotation, a posterior capsular release in conjunction with a Type II SLAP lesion repair is indicated.
A positive finding on the anterior apprehension maneuver, the anterior slide test, the Jobe relocation test, the passive compression test, the Speed test, and the Yergason test or a com-
