1. Speed’s test The Speeds test is used to detect the pathology of the biceps tendon and assess for biceps pathology (like in biceps tendinopathy) as well as SLAP lesions in the shoulder. It is performed with the patient’s arm extended in full supination with the shoulder flexed. In this position, the patient is asked to elevate the arm against […]...
2. SLAP Aprehension Test The SLAP apprehension test is generally used to test the integrity of the glenohumeral joint capsule or to assess glenohumeral instability in an anterior direction. This test was described by Berg and Ciullo in 1998 and was developed after 2 patients described cervical spine and shoulder pain and a click associated with turning a steering wheel Le. […]...
3. O’Brien’s Active Compression Test O’Brien’s Active Compression Test is to indicate potential labral (SLAP Lesion) or acromioclavicular lesions as a cause of shoulder pain. O’Brien’s active compression test was primarily developed for the assessment of Acromioclavicular joint pathology following a patient’s demonstration of what reproduced their shoulder pain. O’Brien noted in a series of patients it was also excellent […]...
4. Biceps Load Test  The first biceps load test is meant to detect SLAP injuries in patients with chronic shoulder dislocation. The test is performed with the patient supine and therefore the examiner seated alongside holding the patient’s wrist and elbow. Kim et al (1999) designed the biceps load test to guage the integrity of the superior glenoid labrum in shoulders with recurrent dislocations. […]...
5. Biceps Load Test 2 The biceps load test 2 was specifically designed to gauge SLAP lesions. the primary biceps load test is meant to detect SLAP injuries in patients with chronic shoulder dislocation. The test is performed with the patient supine and therefore the examiner seated alongside holding the patient’s wrist and elbow. The patient is within the supine position with the jostle at 120 degrees of elevation […]...
6. Pain Provocation Test Pain provocation test is used to assess for nerve root impingement that results from encroachment on structures within the intervertebral foramen and shoulder joint performance test. To perform the test, with the patient sitting, the therapist clasps both hands across the top of the patient’s head and applies a downward force on the head. The […]...
7. Hawkins-Kennedy Test The Hawkins Kennedy test is employed to assess shoulder impingement. during this test, the clinician stabilizes the shoulder with one hand and, with the patient’s elbow flexed at 90 degrees, internally rotates the shoulder using the opposite hand. Shoulder pain elicited by internal rotation represents a positive test. Originally described in 1980 the Hawkins and Kennedy test was interpreted as indicative […]...
8. Jobe Relocation Test Jobe Relocation Test (also referred to as the Fowler Sign) is to test for anterior instability of the glenohumeral joint. The Jobe Relocation test (JRT) was originally devised to distinguish patients with anterior instability (and possible secondary Rotator Cuff Impingement symptoms) from those with Primary Impingement. It has previously been advocated as the most sensitive clinical test to […]...
9. Anterior Apprehension Test The Apprehension test is generally used to test the integrity of the glenohumeral joint capsule or to assess glenohumeral instability in an anterior direction. In supine, the patient is positioned with the scapula supported by the sting of the examining table. The arm is positioned in 90 °abduction and external rotation. With increasing external rotation the examiner watches for apprehension […]...
10. Empty Can Test (ECT) The empty can test may be a clinical trial wont to test the integrity of the supraspinatus tendon. The Empty Can Test is employed to assess the supraspinatus muscle and supraspinatus tendon. during this test, the patient is tested at 90° elevation within the scapular plane and full internal rotation (empty can). The patient resists downward pressure exerted by the examiner at the patient’s elbow […]...
11. Lift-Off Test The Lift-Off Test (also known as Gerber’s Test) is commonly used in orthopedic examinations to test for a tear in the subscapularis tendon or subscapularis tendonitis. It can also show scapular instability. Read more about rotator cuff tears. The lift-off test was originally described by Gerber and Krushell(199l) and is sometimes referred to as ‘Gerber’s Test’. […]...
12. Anterior Drawer Test Designed to detect and grade laxity or insufficiency of the anterior capsular mechanism. (Analogous to the anterior drawer test of the knee). This test was proposed as useful in patients with a painful shoulder where the apprehension test is difficult to interpret. the many difference between this and therefore the load and shift is that the absence of a force ‘loading’ […]...
13. Neer Impingement Sign The Neer and Hawkins impingement signs are commonly used to diagnose subacromial pathologies such as subacromial bursitis, rotator cuff tendinitis, and the rotator cuff tear. The Neer Impingement Test may be a test designed to breed symptoms of structure impingement through flexing the shoulder and pressure application. Symptoms should be reproduced if there’s a drag with the supraspinatus or musculus biceps brachii. This test is additionally related to the […]...
14. Test Diagnosis of Biceps Tendinopathy Test Diagnosis of Biceps Tendinopathy/Biceps Tendinopathy is a relatively common ailment that typically presents as pain, tenderness, and weakness in the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii. Though it is often associated with degenerative processes of the rotator cuff and the joint, this is not always the case, thus, the etiology remains […]...
15. Posterior Drawer Test The posterior drawer test is performed with the knee flexed to approximately 80°-90°. For this test, it’s essential for the knee to be relaxed so as to really assess the quantity of increase in motion which will be present. I usually do that by palpating the hamstring tendons to form sure they’re relaxed. The posterior drawer test is performed by holding the patient´s wrist [20] or forearm [1] with one […]...
