©2013 UpToDate ® Email Anterior slide test for SLAP lesion For the anterior slide test, the patient stands or sits and places their hands on hips with their thumbs placed posteriorly. The examiner stands behind the patient and places one hand atop the patient’s shoulder with the index finger over the anterior glenohumeral joint. The examiner places the other hand on the patient’s elbow and then applies a superiorly directed force to the elbow and shoulder while the patient resists. A positive test produces pain, a popping or clicking sensation, or mimics the patient’s symptoms. Courtesy of Stephen Simons, MD.
