PHYS THER REV , 2005, vol. 10, n° 1, p. 5-14 Doc n°: 118704 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : KA - KINESITHERAPIE, DD32 - EXPLORATION EXAMENS BILANS - EPAULE Numerous clinical tests to diagnose superior labral anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions of the glenoid labrum have been described. The current systematic review of the relevant literature was undertaken to ascertain the accuracy of these tests as determined by likelihood ratios. Searching of electronic databases yielded 16 papers that had reported test accuracy on a total of 16 separate clinical tests for SLAP lesions, and some combinations of these tests. Although many tests appeared to be highly accurate when initially reported, all tests that had been evaluated by authors other than those who devised the test typically showed poor levels of accuracy in subsequent studies. The results of this review suggest that no one clinical test can be recommended for use in clinical practice to diagnose accurately the presence or absence of a SLAP lesion. It is possible that further investigations into the anatomical basis of these tests may explain the variability in accuracy. Langue : ANGLAIS |
