Yergason test
Maneuver to diagnose bicipital tendinitis. With the elbow flexed at 90 degrees, and while the forearm is pronated, the patient supinates the forearm, flexes the elbow, and externally rotates the humerus while the examiner resists these movements and applies downward traction to the elbow. The test result is positive if it elicits pain over the bicipital groove or if the tendon snaps out of the groove.
