This video demonstrates the hook test for distal bicep tendon rupture. Have the patient lift their arm to the side and passively flex their elbow. The use your index finger to “hook” on to the biceps tendon from the lateral side (superior). It’s like hanging a hanger on the biceps tendon. If the tendon can not be palpated there may be a distal biceps tendon rupture.
