Physical examination tests of the shoulder: a systematic review with meta-analysis of individual tests
Eric J. Hegedus,Adam P. Goode,Skye Campbell,Amy Morin,Michael Tamaddoni,Claude T. Moorman,Chad Cook +6 more
TL;DR: There is a great need for large, prospective, well-designed studies that examine the diagnostic accuracy of the numerous physical examination tests of the shoulder, and there is a lack of clarity with regard to whether common OSTs used in clinical examination are useful in differentially diagnosing pathologies of the shoulders.
Which physical examination tests provide clinicians with the most value when examining the shoulder? Update of a systematic review with meta-analysis of individual tests
Eric J. Hegedus,Adam P. Goode,Chad Cook,Lori A. Michener,Cortney A Myer,Daniel M Myer,Alexis A. Wright +6 more
TL;DR: The use of any single ShPE test to make a pathognomonic diagnosis cannot be unequivocally recommended and there is a great need for large, prospective, well-designed studies that examine the diagnostic accuracy of the many aspects of the clinical examination and what combinations of these aspects are useful in differentially diagnosing pathologies of the shoulder.
Clinimetrics corner: a closer look at the minimal clinically important difference (MCID)

Clinician-friendly lower extremity physical performance measures in athletes: a systematic review of measurement properties and correlation with injury, part 1. The tests for knee function including the hop tests
TL;DR: There is predominantly limited and conflicting evidence regarding the reliability, agreement, construct validity, criterion validity and responsiveness of commonly used PPTs at the knee.

Clinician-friendly lower extremity physical performance tests in athletes: a systematic review of measurement properties and correlation with injury. Part 2—the tests for the hip, thigh, foot and ankle including the star excursion balance test
TL;DR: There is relatively limited research-backed information on PPTs of the lower extremity in athletes, and the terminology used to name and describe the tests and methodology by which the tests were conducted was inconsistent.
