Test
How to do it
Positive sign
Test for
RROM Infraspinatus   prone, arm over table, resist external rotation (towards head)     External rotator  
🗑
RROM Teres Minor   tanding, arm at ninety degrees, resist pushing arm out     Exterbak rotator  
🗑
RROM Subscapularis   hand cuff position, push hand towards back      
🗑
RROM Deltoid   (anterior, middle and posterior) anterior- slightly in flexion (forward) push in, posterior slight extension (back) push in      
🗑
RROM Pectoralis Major   do a fly resist arm coming in      
🗑
greater tuberosity   lateral aspect of the bicipital groove      
🗑
lesser tuberosity   medial aspect of the bicipital groove, subscapularis attachment      
🗑
bicipital groove   PROM int/ext rotation to find; LH biceps runs through groove      
🗑
supraspinatus /infraspinatus/teres minor   inserts and is palpable at the greater tuberositylie under the acromion, passively extend the shoulder to palpate more effectively; these are not distinctly palpable, rather you palpate them as a unit (common tendon)      
🗑
subscapularis   inserts lesser tuberosity; not palpable, performs internal otation      
🗑
Levator Scapulae   deep to the trapezius      
🗑
long head biceps   passes through the bicipital groove      
🗑
short head biceps   palpable towards the coracoid process      
🗑
RROM Pec Minor   arm flat on table, resist raise shoulder up not using hand (minor), you can hold their arm so you know they are not using it      
🗑
RROM Biceps (LH and SH)-   resist curl, but athletes with long head will have pain with straight arm raise resistance      
🗑
RROM Trapezius (upper, middle and lower)   -upper- shrug shoulder bring head to shoulder try to break them apart, middle-prone on table arm out in open can position, resist bringing arm up, and lower fibers- prone arm up diagonally in open can position, resist bringing arm up      
🗑
RROm Serratus anterior   supine, arm all the way up to the ceiling, hold chest, push down on their closed fist      
🗑
rrom Rhomboids (Major and Minor)   -put in position of seated row and push against elbows      
🗑
rrom Latissimus dorsi   prone, hand to side, palm facing up, resist bringing arm up      
🗑
Empty can test-   shoulders abducted to 90 degrees, horizontally adducted to 30 degrees and internally rotated- clinician resists patients attempt to actively abduct both shoulders   occurs when pain/weakness noted   supraspinatus  
🗑
Drop arm test   examiner passively abducts the shoulder to 90 deg and instructs the patient to slowly lower the arm to their side   the patient cannot slowly lower arm or has significant pain with activity –   rotator cuff pathology-supraspinatus  
🗑
Spring test (Piano Key test   press down on distal clavical for ac joint, prosimal clavical for sc joint   pain and/or instability noted at the AC/SC joint   ac or cc ligaments torn  
🗑
Neer test   - patient sits or stands; examiner places one hand on the scapula to stabilize and the other grasps the elbow- examiner passively and maximally forward flexes the shoulder   shoulder pain and apprehension   impingement involving the LH biceps and/or supraspinatus  
🗑
Hawkins-Kennedy test   patient sits or stands; examiner places one hand over the elbow and one over the wrist- examiner pushes patient into forward flexion to 90 degrees with internal rotation   pain and apprehension   supraspinatus tendon impingement  
🗑
Yergason’s test   patient sits with elbow at 90 deg and stabilized against thorax; forearm pronated; examiner places one hand on patients forearm and the other on upper arm over bicipital groove- examiner resists patients attempt to actively supinates the arm   pain over the bicipital groove   possible tendonitis  
🗑
Speeds test   - patient stands; shoulder flexed to 90 deg and elbow fully extended with forearm supinated; examiner places one hand over the volar aspect of the wrist and the other over the bicipital groove- examiner resists the patients attempt to flex shoulder   pain over the bicipital tendon in bicipital groove    
🗑
Ludington’s test   patient sits or stands with their fingers interlocked behind their head; examiner places hand over bicipital groove- patient contracts both biceps simultaneously   pain over the biceps tendon or no tension   torn biceps tendon  
🗑
Apprehension test (anterior)   patient lies supine on the table; examiner places one hand on the distal arm and the other at the wrist- examiner places shoulder in 90 degrees of abduction and the elbow at 90 degrees flexion; examiner slowly externally rotates the shoulder   pain and apprehension in the shoulder   anterior instability  
🗑
Relocation test-   same as anterior apprehension, simply place posterior pressure on humeral head as to reduce the anterior subluxation   pain and apprehension in the shoulder   anterior instability  
🗑
Load and Shift test   patient sits and has elbows relaxed down into lap- examiner grasps humeral head, axially loads the humeral head into the glenoid fosse and then tries to translate the humeral head anteriorly (shift) then posteriorly (shift)   pain or abnormal shift compared bilaterally i   an anterior instability  
🗑
Glide Test   grasp humeral head and shift anteriorly   anterior instability   anterior instability  
🗑
Posterior Apprehension test   patient supine and the examiner grasps the elbow with one hand and the shoulder with the other- examiner places the shoulder in a position of 90 degrees flexion with internal rotation and applies a posterior force through the long axis   apprehension or pain   posterior Glenohumeral instability  
🗑
Sulcus sign   patient sits with elbow resting in lap; examiners grasps distal humerus with one hand and the scapula with the other- with scapula stabilized, examiner applies an inferior force at the humerus   a visible or palpable step off or ‘sulcus’ deformity inferior to the acromion   inferior or multidirectional instability  
🗑
O’Brien’s Test “Active Compression Test”   patient standing with shoulder in 90 degrees horizontal adduction and internal rotation-Patient resists examiners downward force – then externally rotate and perform same maneuver     labrum tear SLAP lesion or possibly AC joint pathology  
🗑
Adson’s Maneuver   patient sits or stands; examiner palpates the radial artery pulse- examiner externally rotates and extends the patient’s test arm and patient then extends and rotates the neck toward the test arm and takes a deep breath   positive findings is diminished or absent pulse   Thoracic outlet syndrome  
🗑
Allen Test   patient sits or stands with their shoulder in 90 degrees abduction and external rotation; examiners stands and palpates radial pulse- patient rotates the neck away from the test arm   - positive finding is a diminished or absent pulse indicative of thoracic outlet syndrome   Thoracic outlet syndrome  
🗑
Radial head   one inch distal to the lateral epicondyle- place elbow at 90 degrees flexion and have patient pronate/supinate      
🗑
ulnar nerve   located in sulcus between the medial epic. and olecrannon process- known as the ‘funny bone’      
🗑
wrist extensor group - ‘mobile wad of three’   originate from lateral epicondyle and supracondylar line of the humerus- brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis      
🗑
lateral (radial) collateral ligament   - ropelike structure similar to the knee- not directly palpable – runs lateral epicondyle to the annular ligament- prevents against varus stress      
🗑
median nerve   directly medial to brachial artery and then passes through pronator teres      
🗑
Valgus stress test       njury to the MCL  
🗑
Varus stress test       positive test indicates injury to the LCL  
🗑

🗑
RROM Supraspinatus   Emptycan push down     Internal rotator  
🗑
