I propose that a much more common name for this test is the "Thompson test" and that the article should be moved to reflect this. -- ITasteLikePaint ( talk) 19:29, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
The article currently states that the test has a positive predictive value of 13.7 and a negative predictive value of 0.1. The calculation for positive predictive value is given as the ratio of true positives to true positives plus false positives, meaning that the value lies between 0 and 1. Thus, a predictive value of 13.7 makes no sense. If the statement is taken to mean 13.7%, then the follow up that the Simmonds' test is an accurate indicator of an achilles rupture would be wrong. I do not have access to the literature source used to make this claim, however the sources that I can find give substantially different values of 0.93 and 1 for positive and negative specificity respectively. If anyone can provide some clarification on this point, it would be greatly appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:1203:C659:3501:F5AF:F98F:5664 ( talk) 03:54, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Simmonds' test → Thompson test – Cleanup of Template:Inappropriate title soft. This title was the one suggested above. PubMed search results seem to confirm that the suggested title is indeed the WP:COMMONNAME, with " Thompson test" yielding 55 results and " Simmonds' test" as well as " Simmonds test" yielding 0.
