Apr 10, 2022 · Yergason’s test is a physical test performed to help detect certain biceps tendon injuries — in particular, an injury to the long head of the biceps tendon. It can also assist in the diagnosis of a tear in your transverse humeral ligament, SLAP tear and biceps tendonitis .

The Yergason's Test is used to test for biceps tendon pathology, such as bicipital tendonitis and an unstable superior labral anterior posterior (SLAP) lesion. [1] The patient should be seated or standing in the anatomical position, with the humerus in a neutral position and the elbow in 90 degrees of flexion in a pronated position.

The first and most valuable test is positive if you have tenderness when you palpate the biceps tendon. To find the biceps tendon feel the very front corner of your scapula, known as the acromion and move your fingers just below this area.

The best way to diagnose biceps tendinopathy, is by comparative palpation of the biceps tendon along the intertubercular groove, or otherwise by doing a ultrasonography (extra-articulair). Treatment consists of conservative or surgical treatment.

Speed's Test is used to test for superior labral tears or bicipital tendonitis. To perform the Speed's Test, the examiner places the patient's arm in shoulder flexion, external rotation, full elbow extension, and forearm supination; manual resistance is then applied by the examiner in a downward direction. [1] .

Sep 1, 2009 · Bicipital groove point tenderness is the most common isolated finding during physical examination of patients with biceps tendinitis. Ultrasonography is the best modality for evaluating...

Dec 28, 2024 · Biceps tendonitis is a well recognized source of anterior shoulder pain that may be associated with subscapularis tears and subacromial impingement. Diagnosis can be suspected clinically with anterior shoulder pain made worse with provocative tests and confirmed with MRI studies to evaluate for concurrent pathology.

Nov 5, 2024 · The best biceps tendonitis test is the Speed Test. The patient starts with their arm straight, palm facing forwards and pushes the arm forwards and up against resistance. The Speed Test is considered positive for bicipital tendonitis if this elicits pain in the bicipital groove.

Dec 17, 2024 · Biceps Tendon is a common cause of shoulder pain with its proximal arising, and elbow pain with its distal insertion. Many tests have been described to diagnosis its pathology. Biceps Tendon Tests include the following: Yergason Test. Speed Test. Nonspecific Biceps Tendon Test. Abbott-Saunders Test. Snap Test. Hueter Sign. Ludington Test ...

Speed’s test was originally intended to test for tendonitis of the long head of biceps. However, it is often also used to detect SLAP lesions of the glenoid labrum (SLAP = Superior Labral Antero-Posterior). It is accurate for predicting pathology of the biceps/labral complex but is not very specific to a particular structure.
