what indicates a positive anterior load and shift test?
excessive anterior shift of the humerus
what is a positive apprehension test?

how to know a positive load and shift test for posterior shoulder instability
posterior translation of the humerus
a positive push-pull test is shown by …..
-when there is more than 50% posterior translation
