Purpose
[edit | edit source]

Speed's Test is used to test for superior labral tears or bicipital tendonitis.

Technique
[edit | edit source]

To perform the Speed's Test, the examiner places the patients arm in shoulder flexion, external rotation, full elbow extension, and forearm supination; manual resistance is then applied by the examiner in a downward direction.[1] The test is considered to be positive if pain in the bicipital tendon or bicipital groove is reproduced.

Evidence[edit | edit source]

Diagnostic Test Properties for detecting SLAP with Speed's Test[3]
Sensitivity   0.32
Specificity   0.75
Positive Likelihood Ratio   1.28
Negative Likelihood Ratio   0.91


Test Item Cluster: The Speed's Test is often combined with the Yergason's Test to detect bicipital tendonitis.

See test diagnostics page for explanation of statistics.
