This video discusses a recent paper in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy that attempted to show what tests are best to diagnose a SLAP tear in the shoulder.
I wrote a brief blog post at LennyMacrina.com to help get my thoughts out there and discuss my opinions.
They recommend that a combination of at least 3 positive SLAP lesion tests may be clinically useful in diagnosing a shoulder SLAP lesion with greater diagnostic accuracy.
The combination of the Biceps Load I/II and O’Brien’s showed the highest sensitivity and
specificity.
I have found similar results with this set of special tests so maybe this paper just hits my biases correctly.
