YERGASON'S TEST FOR SLAP LESIONS Primarily designed to test for the integrity of the transverse humeral ligament, this test is now more commonly used to detect SLAP lesions. While this test has the highest specificity in the literature amongst all SLAP tests with 95%, the low sensitivity of this test (12%) minimizes its clinical value. A positive test therefore increases the odds for a SLAP lesion by only 2.49 and a negative test basically does not alter the post-test probability for the presenc

SHOULDER ASSESSMENT SERIES PART 27: YERGASON'S TEST FOR BICEPS PATHOLOGY/SLAP LESION This test was primarily designed to assess the integrity of the transverse humeral ligament, but it is also used to detect biceps and SLAP lesions. Like with the three preceding tests is has a low sensitivity and high specificity and you should only use it to confirm your hypothesis based on a thorough patient history-taking. #bicepspathology #shoulderassessment | Physiotutors
