Yergason's Test This test has the examiner facing the seated patient and slightly lateral to the upper extremity being tested. The patient, with the palm facing upward, makes a fist and bends the elbow to about 90 degrees. The examiner palpates over the bicipital groove while clasping the patient's fist. The examiner then internally and externally rotates the patient's arm while also keeping the patient from further flexing the elbow. If this action causes a painful palpable and/or audible click or snap, which is the bicipital tendon slipping in and out of the bicipital groove, then this test is considered positive, which indicates a loss of stability of the Biceps' Tendon.
