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 patient's 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]
| 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.
