Purpose

Speed’s Test is used to test for superior labral tears or bicipital tendonitis.

Technique

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.
