QuestionAnswer
Apprehension test. Anterior Apprehension test. Seated. Dr stand behind. Patient looks at Dr. Dr abduction to 90 deg with external rotation while stablibizing form behind. Pos: pain, apprehension, laxity = anterior dislocation trauma of the humerus.
Posterior Apprehension test. Supine with shoulder 90 flexed and internally rotated. Dr applies posterior force on the elbow watching the patient for signs of apprehension/pain, resistance. Ind: post. dislocation trauam of humerus.
Relocation test Done only if apprehension is positive. supine with shoulder 90 flexed and externally rotated. Stabilize capsule with inside hand. Pos: relief of symptoms from apprehension test. Decreased apprehension-anterior instability. Decreased pain- anterior instability and cuff disease.
Sulcus sign seated. Hand internally rotated laying in lap. Apply inferior traction to distal humerus. Palpate/observe inferior aspect of acromion process. Pos: sulcus/dimpling superior to humeral head and inferior to acromion=Multidirectional instability
Rotator Interval Capsule
Load and shift test (Drawer test) Seated or supine. Dr stabilize superior shoulder with inside hand. outside hand grasps humeral head.Compress humeral head into glenoid while moving A/P. Pos:abnormal A/P translation. laxity, popping, grinding=instability of G/H joint or labrum damage.
Dugas test Seated. Touch opposite shoulder with elbow on chest. Pos: inability to touch.= anterior dislocation of humerus.
Apley's Scratch Test Standing/Sitting. Try and touch the opposite superior and inferior angle of scapula. Pos: pain. Degenerative tendinitis of the rotator cuff, usually superspinatus tendon
Subacromial Push button sign seated. applied pressure to subacromial bursa. Pain indicates subacromial bursitis.
Subacromial Bursa Test (Dawbarn's sign) Seated. Applied pressure to tender area anterolateral and inferior to acromion. Abducts arm 90. Decrease pain indicates subacromial bursitis.
Drop Arm Test Seated. Dropping arm pos: pain hunchign of shoudler= rotator cuff tear rupture of supraspinatus tendon. SLowly lowering arm. Unable to lower slowly=cuff tear rupture of supraspinatus tendon.
Empty can test Standing. Elbow extended, 90 abduction neutral rotation. Dr pushed down. then 30 horiz flexion with thumb down. dr pushs down. Pos pain or weakness=weak or injured supraspinatus mm or tendon.
LIft off test Seated/standing. hand behind back. patient moves posterior while dr resists. Pos is weakness/pain= injured or weak subscapularis mm or tendon
Yergason's Seated with elbow flexed, patient supinatate and resists against extention = tenosynovitis of the trans ligament. Flex elbow. stablized by dr hand. Pt supinates and externally rotates against resistance. Pain=inflam bicept tendon popping=lax trans lig.
Clunk Supine. DR hand behind humeral head. Dr full abducts shoulder. then pushing A->P on humoral head while externally rotating shoulder. Clunk or grinding sound pos=anterior tear of labrum.
Crank Supine. SHoulder in 160 flexion in scapular plane. Dr applies axial force while inter/externally rotating the arm. Clicking with pain=labrum tear
O'Brien Sign Standing. 90 deg shoulder flexion (elbow extend) 10-15 horiz flex. Internal rotate while dr pushes down. then exteneral rotate while dr pushes down. Pos=pain in 1, not/less in two. Deep shoulder px= labrum. superficial top of shoulder=AC.
Impingement syndrome test Supine/seated. Pt flex elbow. S->I pressure on elbow into subacromial suprahumeral space. Pain=impingement.
Hawkins-Kennedy Test Dr in front of pt. elbow shoulder at 90 flex. DR internally rotates shoulder by supporting elbow and pushing on wrist. Pain in anterior G/H joint= rotator cuff tendonitis. Pushes supra tendon against coracoacromial lig.
Neer's Test Dr next to Pt forcefully flexes pt arm while depressing scapula. Pain in anterior g/h joint=rotator cuff tendonitis. compression of greater tub against acromion.
Impingment Relief Test/reverse Impingment supine in apprehension postion. Dr pushes on humeral head S-I. Decrease pain=mechanical impingment under acromion.
Cozen's Test Pt arm at side elbow flex at 90. Pt make fist, pronate, extend wrist. Dr flexes pt wrist against resistance. Stresses extensor carpi rad long/brev. pain in lateral epicondyle is pos.
Mill's Test Pt arm at side, elbow flex 90. Pt pronate arm, flex wrist. supinate against resistance. Pain in lateral epicondyle is pos for lateral epicondylitis.
Kaplan's Sign Pt standing arm flexed 90. Holding dynomometer with wrist slightly extended. pt squeezes. weak/pain in later epicondyle=lateral epicondylitis. Dr squeezes distal to Lat epi and repeat. Pain decreases-laterepicondylitis. Pain increases=myofascitis.
Pinch Grip Test Pt pinch intex and thumb togehter tip to tip, if they do it pad to pad indicates impingement of anterior interossei branch of median n.
Medial Epicondylitits Test Grasp hand like hand shake. supinate and extend wrist. pain in medial aspect of elbow is medial epicondylitis.
Tinel's hand is supinated and wrist stabilized. tap along median nerve in carpal tunnel. pain/tingling of median nerve distal to wrist=median nerve compression in carpal tunnel.
Phalen's FLex hand backs together and lower elbows to make sure wrists are fully flexed. hold for 60 sec. Pain/tingle long median never distrib=compression in carpal tunnel
Reverse Phalen's Extend wrists have pt put hands togehter and raise elbows to full extension. Pain/tingle along median nerve distrib=carpal tunnel compression.
Finkelstein's Fist over thumb and ulnar deviate wrist. pain in tunnel 1= deqervian's or stenosing tenosynovitis of tunnel 1. Abd poll long, extens poll brev.
Bracelet Test Dr squeezes the distal radial/ulner joint. Pos: acute pain in wrist/forearm/hand= RA
Carpal Lift Test Pt hand palm down on exam table. Dr holds finger down adn asks patient to extend finger. Pos=pain in wrist= carpal fx or sprain.
Bunnel_Littler Extends MCP, Flexes (one at a time) PIP and DIP joints. If DIP and PIP wont flex=indicates tight intrinsic muscle of contracture of joint capsule. RA or Osteoarthritsis suspected
