Purpose[edit|edit source]

Speed's Test is used to test forsuperior labral tearsorbicipital 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.
