Yergason's test - --purpose: integrity of transverse ligement
-result: tendon of long head of biceps will pop out of groove
*tenderness in the bicipital groove alone w/o the dislocation may
indicate bicipital paratenonitis/tendinosis
Forearm begins in pronation and elbow flexed shoulder in neutral ...
resist pnt supination while palpating bicipital groove
-Speed's test - --purpose: ID bicipital tendinosis/tendinopathy
-result: pain in long head of biceps tendon/increased tenderness in the
bicipital groove
resisted shoulder flexion once in 90 degrees flexion with forearm
supinated
-Neer's Impingement test - --purpose: impingement of supraspinatus &
biceps tendon
-result: reproduces symptoms of pain in the shoulder region
Shoulder flexion with arm internally rotated ( as far as possible)
-Empty Can/Jobe test - --Purpose: ID tear/impingement of supraspinatus
tendon or suprascapular nerve neuropathy
-result: reproduces pain in supraspinatus tendon or weakness in empty
can position
resist empty can downward pressure ----- supraspinatus muscle
impingement
