If this test position reproduces pain then perform active elbow flexion against resistance. 1. Kim’s biceps load test i and ii 14,15. Author information: (1)Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sungkyunkwan University, College of Medicine, Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. Positive L'examen clinique retrouvait des tests du biceps (palpation de la gouttière, speed test) perturbés dans 50 à 72 % des cas. Performance: The examiner will grasp the patient’s wrist and elbow and elevate the arm to 120 degrees of abduction and elbow at 90 degrees of flexion.Fully rotate the arm into external rotation and forearm supination. The patient is tested in supine. Another test to diagnose the distal biceps tendon rupture is the Squeeze Test (Figure 4), which is similar to the Thompson’s Test—a method used to diagnose an Achilles tendon rupture.

The arm is abducted to 120°, externally rotated maximally, elbow in 90° flexion and forearm supinated. The biceps load test II had a sensitivity of 89.7%, a specificity of 96.9%, a positive-predictive value of 92.1%, a negative-predictive value of 95.5%, and a kappa coefficient of 0.815. Biceps Load Test 2. (18) sont très fiables selon leurs auteurs avec des sensibilités et des spécificités respec- tivement de 87 et 97 % pour le biceps load test 2 et 100 et FIG.2.–Tests de SLAP. Speed’s Test (Biceps or straight arm test) This test looks for biceps muscle or tendon pathology “The patient’s arm is forward flexed to 90 degrees and then the patient is asked to resist an eccentric movement into extension, first with the arm supinated, then pronated. We describe the biceps load test for evaluating the integrity of the superior glenoid labrum in shoulders with recurrent anterior dislocations. (17), et le new pain provocation test de Mimori et al. We describe the biceps load test for evaluating the integrity of the superior glenoid labrum in shoulders with recurrent anterior dislocations. With the shoulder in an abducted, externally rotated position and the forearm supinated, active flexion of the elbow against resistance relieves the discomfort of a standard apprehension test for anterior shoulder instability. a et b) Active compression test d’O’Brien. With the forearm pronated, the examiner resists contraction of the biceps. American journal of sports medicine, 27 (3), 300-303. For the Squeeze test, you will ask the patient to flex their elbow to 80 degrees and keep the forearm in some pronation, then you will squeeze the biceps with one hand or with two hands. American journal of sports medicine, 27 (3), 300-303. Kim SH(1), Ha KI, Han KY.
