A 26-year-old male power lifter visits the outpatient clinic with a painful shoulder. Radiographic examination reveals tendinopathy of the long head of the biceps. Which of the following conditions will most likely be present during physical examination?
Correct Answer: Pain is felt in the anterior shoulder during forced contraction.
Description: The long head of the biceps assists in shoulder flexion and during a tendinopathy would cause pain in the anterior compartment of the shoulder, where it originates at the supraglenoid tubercle. Also, forced contraction would cause more of a greater tension force on the tendon.
