Summary
This study will check if a new physical exam called Said's test can accurately diagnose biceps tendon injuries in the shoulder. Researchers will test 144 adults, including those with shoulder injuries and healthy volunteers. Two doctors will perform the new test and standard tests, then compare results to MRI or arthroscopy to see how accurate and reliable the new test is.
