Yocum Test | Subacromial Shoulder Pain<\/h2>\nThe Yocum test is an active maneuver and aims to provoke the structures within the subacromial space. Originally described by Yocum (1983)<\/a>, the test underwent diagnostic accuracy assessment in a 2008 study by Silva et al.<\/a>.They report a sensitivity of 79% percent and a specificity of 40% when compared to MRI classification of supraspinatus tendinopathy and a sensitivity of eighty percent and specificity of 36% percent when compared to MRI findings indicative of subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nAll in all, the patient number in the study was low, and tendon degeneration is normal, and we know that the gold standard MRI, in this case, is not robust plus the reported statistics give it a rather weak clinical value.\u00a0<\/span>\n
