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 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.
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 ...
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.
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-
The O'Brien and crank test combination was the most sensitive 2-test combination in both parallel and series. The Yergason and anterior slide test combination was the most specific 2-test combination in parallel and series.
