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.
1 kwi 2004 · The most common positive physical findings are a positive anterior drawer (53%), positive apprehension at 90° of abduction and maximal external rotation (86%), and positive relocation test (86%). 3 The Speed’s test and O’Brien signs are helpful for diagnosing anterior lesions, whereas Jobe’s relocation test is positive most frequently ...
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
This review concluded that Yergason's test was the only clinical test to show a statistically significant positive likelihood ratio, but a positive Yergason's test only slightly increased the likelihood of a superior labral antero-posterior lesion of the shoulder being present.
In this population, tenotomy or tenodesis of the biceps tendon is a viable alternative to SLAP repairs in order to improve clini-cal outcomes. The present article introduces a treatment algorithm for SLAP lesions based upon the recent litera-ture as well as the authors’ clinical experience.
28 sty 2017 · Four specific clinical examination tests have been described for lesions in this area. The authors described the SLAP test for diagnosing unstable type II and type IV superior labral lesions (Fig. 15–2). In this test the arm is held abducted to 90 degrees with the hand fully supinated.
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-
