The Spurling's test was 95% sensitive and 94% specific for diagnosing nerve root pathology. [2] In another study done in the late 1900s, 255 patients were examined using a Spurling test and afterwards received an electrodiagnostic examination. The study results showed the Spurling test was 30% sensitive, and 93% specific for finding cervical ...

A meta-analysis in 2008 concluded that the diagnostic accuracy of individual tests in the shoulder examination was limited, specifically that the Hawkins–Kennedy test and the Speed test have no discriminatory ability to diagnose specific shoulder pathology, and that results of studies evaluating other tests were too statistically ...
