The document describes several clinical tests used to evaluate shoulder pathology:
- Apley's test evaluates anterior shoulder instability. A positive test produces pain and inability to perform movements.
- O'Brien's test indicates scapular instability or tears of the subscapularis tendon, with high sensitivity and specificity for labral tears.
- The apprehension or "crank" test evaluates anterior shoulder instability, with pain and forward translation indicating a positive test.
- Speed's test evaluates bicipital tendonitis, impingement syndrome, rotator cuff bursitis, or SLAP lesions, but has wide variability in reported sensitivity and specificity.
