Anterior Slide Test: Sensitivity and Specificity

Introduction: None written. Excerpt from the entry in Superior Labral Anterior Posterior Lesion:
Patient stands with hands on hips. One of the examiner's hands is placed over the shouler and the other hand behind the elbow. A force is then applied anteriorly and superiorly, and the patient is asked to push back against the force. The test is positive if pain is localised to the anterosuperior aspect of the shoulder, if there is a pop or a click in that region, or if the maneuver reproduces that patient's symptoms.
