Diagnosing a SLAP tear

This video discusses a recent paper in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy that attempted to show what tests are best to diagnose a SLAP tear in the shoulder.
I wrote a brief blog post at LennyMacrina.com to help get my thoughts out there and discuss my opinions.
They recommend that a combination of at least 3 positive SLAP lesion tests may be clinically useful in diagnosing a shoulder SLAP lesion with greater diagnostic accuracy.
The combination of the Biceps Load I/II and O’Brien’s showed the highest sensitivity and
specificity.
I have found similar results with this set of special tests so maybe this paper just hits my biases correctly.

What if only the o Brien test worked what could that possibly be

[@drcovell]

Had a SLAP problem for many years. All those tests are positive.

[@AliJaw2d94]

Should the pain from o'brien test come immediately or after while to make the conclusion ?

Can you do teres minor test?

[@lenmacpt]

similar test as the infraspinatus. They share a common tendon so may be tough to differentiate.
