Performance of the Test[edit | edit source]

The patient is in the supine position with the shoulder in 120 degrees of elevation and full external rotation, while the elbow is in 90 degrees of flexion, and the forearm in supination .  The patient is then asked to flex the elbow as the clinician provides resistance.1

Purpose of the Test[edit | edit source]

The Biceps Load II test is designed to detect SLAP lesions in the shoulder.1

Positive Test[edit | edit source]

A positive test is defined as pain experienced during resisted elbow flexion or pain exacerbation during resisted elbow flexion.1

Diagnostic Properties1[edit | edit source]

Sensitivity:  0.897

Specificity:  0.966

Positive Likelihood Ratio:  30

Negative Likelihood Ratio:  0.10

Reliability:  Kappa = 0.815
