Purpose[edit | edit source]
The Yeoman test is used to determine sacroiliac joint involvement. More specifically, if the pain is in the sacroiliac region it may be related to anterior sacroiliac ligament pathology[1].
Technique[edit | edit source]
Starting Position
The patient lies prone[2].
Procedure
The examiner stands at the painful side, flexes the patient's knee to 90° and extends the hip[2].
Positive Test
Pain localized to the sacroiliac joint indicates a positive test[2].
Anterior thigh paresthesia may indicate a femoral nerve stretch[1][3]
Evidence[2][edit | edit source]
| Sensitivity | 64.1% |
|---|---|
| Specificity | 33.3% |
| Positive predictive value | 80.6% |
| Negative predictive value | 17.6% |
