Video 4.3. Yergason’s Test

The examiner demonstrates the proper technique of Yergason’s test on a patient. The patient is seated on the examiner’s table with the elbow in 90 degrees of flexion. With one hand, the examiner holds the patient’s forearm in pronation, and with the other hand, the examiner palpates the patient’s bicipital groove. The patient is asked to supinate the forearm against the examiner’s resistance. A test is considered positive if the patient feels pain along the bicipital groove. A positive test result indicates biceps tendon pathology.
