Shoulder

Shoulder evaluation

QuestionAnswer
Supraspinatus palpation UE in max txtension & IR; palpate from supraspinatus fossa to tendon anterior to AC joint
Infraspinatus palpation In prone, palpate posterior-lateral of acromion (just inferior to inferior angle of acromion)
Subscapularis palpation Side-lying, maneuver relaxed UE to allow you to slide your thumb under the axillary/lateral border of scapula
Teres Minor palpation in prone, palpate just inferior to infraspinatus
Apley scratch test evaluates rotational lack; hand to opposite shoulder, behind back to opposite scapula, and behind back to lower angle of opposite scapula
Elevation trapezius, rhomboid, serratus anterior
Upward rotation upper/lower trapezius & serratus anterior
Abduction Supraspinatus, subscapularis, & deltoid
Downward rotation Lower trapezius, latissimus, & pectoralis minor
Stabilization of humeral head RC & long head of biceps
SICK scapula malposition, inferior medial winging, coracoid tenderness, scapular dyskinesia,
C3-4 spinal accessory, trapezius
C5 dorsal scapular, levator scapula, rhomboids
C5-6 Lateral pectoral, pectoralis major and minor

C5-6 Suprascapular, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, sensation to top of shoulder
C5-6 Axillary, deltoid teres minor, sensation to deltoid anterior shoulder
C5-7 Musculocutaneous, coracobrachialis, biceps, & brachialis, sensation to lateral forearm, biceps reflex
C5-T1 Radial, triceps wrist ext/finger flexion, sensation to dorsum of hand, triceps reflex
C6-7 Thoracodorsal, Latissimus dorsi
Radial nerve, C5-8, T1 muscles anconeus, brachioradialis, ECRL, ECRB, extensor digitorum, APL, ECU, extensor indices, extensor digiti minimi
Radial nerve, C5-8, T1 function weak supination, wrist extensors, finger flexors, & thumb abductors; weak grip, secondary to loss of wrist stabilization
Median nerve, C6-8, T1 muscles pronator teres, FCR, palmaris longus, FDS, FPL, pronator quadratus, thenar eminence, lateral 2 lumbricales
Median nerve, C6-8, T1 function weak pronation, wrist flexion, RD, thumb flexion, abduction, grip, & pinch; ape hand
Ulnar nerve, C7-8, T1 muscles FCU, palmaris brevis, hypothenar eminence, adductor policis, medial 2 lumbricales, interossei
Ulnar nerve, C7-8, T1 function weak wrist flexion, UD, 5th finger flexion, & finger abduction/adduction; benediction sign
FCU flexor carpi ulnaris
FPL flexor pollicis longus
FDS flexor digitorum superficialis
FCR flexor carpi radialis
Rent sign Assess RC tears, UE in full extension, clinician hand under flexed elbow with other hand fingertips in anterior margin of acromion; perform passive UE IR/ER & palpate for defect, compare bilaterally
Empty can test Assess supraspinatus; seated or standing with UE elevated to 30-45 degrees in plan of scapula with IR; resist elevation; + test reproduce pain &/or weakness
Full can test Assess supraspinatus, seated with UE elevated to 30-45 degrees in plan of the scapula with ER; resist elevation, + test reproduces pain/weakenss
Drop arm (Codman) test Assess supraspinatus, seated with shoulder passively positioned at 90 degrees abduction with palm down; have client lower arm to side; + test is inability to lower arm in a smooth manner
Whipple test assess supraspinatus; sitting with shoulder elevated to 90 degrees then perform horizontal adduction with hand on the other shoulder, resist elevation at the elbow
Lateral jobs test assess supraspinatus; shoulder at 90 degrees abduction and max IR; resist abduction
ER rotation lag sign assess supraspinatus & infraspinatus; shoulder in 20 degrees of scaption & 5 degrees less than max ER; ask patient to hold position; + test lag in ER
Drop sign assess supraspinatus and infraspinatus; shoulder at 90 degrees abduction; ask to hold position; + test supraspinatus 5-10 degrees lab in position; + test supraspinatus greater than 15 degrees lag
Dropping sign assess infraspinatus; shoulder at side with 45 degree IR & 90 degree elbow flexion; resist ER
Hornblower (Patte) test assess teres minor, shoulder in 90 degrees abd & elbow flexed so that hand comes to mouth; asked to hold position; + test = pain or inability to maintain UE in IR
Lift-off (Gerber) sign assess subscapularis; hand in the curve of lumber spine; move hand off lower back and resist IR
Belly press (Napoleion) sign assess subscapularis; seated with hand on belly; press hand into belly
Belly-off test assess subscapularis; seated or standing on belly; clinician applies force to pull hand off belly
Bear-hug test assess subscapularis; seated with palm of hand on opposite shoulder; resist IR by attempting to pull hand off shoulder
Hawkins-Kennedy test assess for impingement RC tear and/or subacromial bursitis; seated with shoulder in 90 degree flexion; sight horizontal adduction; clinician weaves arm under patient forearm and onto pts ipsilateral shoulder; use forearm to take to max IR
Jerk test assess posterior instability; sitting w/ UE in IR and flex to 90; grasp flexed elbow and load humerus proximal while passively moving UE into horizontal adduction; + test sudden jerk/clunk as humeral head subluxes posteriorly
Yergason test Assess THL and labrum via biceps attachment; shoulder neutral, elbow flexed 90, and forearm supinated; resist elbow flexion with palpating the THL; + test pain w/tenosynovitis; click/snapping= torn THL
THL transverse humeral ligament
Speed test allow for biceps tendonitis or labrum problem; shoulder elevated 75-90 degrees in sagittal plane, elbow extended, forearm supinated; resist elevation
Biceps load test assess labrum via very high selectivity of long head of biceps; supine in 90 degrees shoulder abduction & 90 degrees elbow flexion; load biceps by resisting elbow flexion and supination
Pain provocation test assess labrum; supine in 90 degree shoulder abduction, 90 degree elbow flexion; traction biceps by passively taking forearm in max pronation
