inspection of shoulder
shoulder palpation
Normal Range of Motion for Shoulder degree
Normal Range of Motion for Shoulder
Flexion: 180 degrees
Extension: 50 degrees
Abduction: 180 degrees
Adduction: 50 degrees
shoulder range of motion, active range of motion
shoulder range of motion- active
stabilize shoulder
Pain/limitation on active ROM but not on passive ROM indicates a structural problem with the muscles/tendons
Crepitus indicates degenerative disc disease
