What do you do to perform the sulcus sign test | -Patient's hand is internally rotated in lap - Apply inferior traction/pull down by grasping at distal humerus/elbow |

A positive Subacromial Bursa test aka Dawburn's sign would be | -painful area stays under Dr's hand OR it moves medially and is alleviated |
Positive Subacromial Bursa test- If painful area stays under contact = | Rotator cuff tear, stop test |
Positive Subacromial Bursa test- if painful area is alleviated or moves medially = | -Subacromial bursitis OR supraspinatus tendonitis= Postive Dawburns sign -follow with doing a drop arm test |

What is a negative Drop Arm test and what does it indicate | No pain, fluid motion= subacromial bursitis |
What is a Positive 1 Drop arm test and what does it indicate | -Arm drops quickly due to pain= supraspinatus tendonitis - do NOT continue with Codman's |
What is a Positive 2 Drop arm test and what does it indicate | -Arm drops in a cogwheel motion with no pain - deltoids are taking over - still possible supraspinatus tendonitis - go on to Codman's |
What is a Positive 3 Drop arm test and what does it indicate | -Patient supports motion with other hand - move onto Codman's |
What is Codman's Drop Arm test | Repeat same steps as normal Drop Arm test, but apply a downward force on the patient's arm |
What is a positive Codman's Drop Arm test and what does it indicate | Arm drops because of pain and/or patient cannot perform = suprapinatus tendonitis (or tear in rotator cuff complex) |
What muscle does the Empty Can test evaluate | Supraspinatus |
How is the Empty Can test performed | -Patient stands with elbow exended, arm at 90 degree abduction and neutral rotation -The shoulder is then moved 30 degrees in horizontal flexion and thumb pointed down -Dr. pushes down on arm |
