According to the RCT by Micheroli et al. (2015) it has a sensitivity of 32% and a specificity of 88% for biceps pathology. Furthermore, Oh et al. (2008) found a sensitivity of 12% and a specificity of 87% for the diagnosis of SLAP lesions.\n<div class=\"embed-container\">\n\n[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_Cjahul5yuI[\/embed]\n\n<\/div>\nTo perform the test have your patient\u2019s forearm flexed to 90\u00b0, in pronation and stabilized against the body. Then ask the patient to perform supination and resist the movement. At the same time, make sure you palpate the biceps tendon in the bicipital groove with your other hand.\n\nIf you feel the biceps tendon \u201cpopping out\u201d of the groove, this indicates a tear of the transverse humeral ligament. Tenderness or pain without the pop, is indicative for bicipital tendinosis and SLAP lesions.\n\nOther common tests for SLAP lesions are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/wiki\/biceps-load-II-test\/\">Biceps Load II Test<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/wiki\/obrien-test\/\">Active Compression Test of O'Brien<\/a>.\n\n[cta]\n\n&nbsp;\n"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"content-content","section_options":{"vertical_alignment":"top","column_right_box":false,"column_left_width":"col-12 col-lg-4 offset"},"column_left":{"content_editor":"<h4>References<\/h4>"},"column_right":{"content_editor":"<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26674725\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Micheroli R, Kyburz D, Ciurea A, Dubs B, Toniolo M, Bisig SP, Tamborrini G.
