28
Q

rotator cuff tendinopathy/partial tear testing

rule out w what tests?

painful arc
Hawkins Kennedy
these 2 being negative used to rule out diagnosis

A

purpose: full thickness RC tear, teres minor or infra
position: seated, passive abd to 90 scapular plane, elbow flexed
action: PT pushes pt into IR and pt resists, pushing into ER
positive: inability of pt to ER in this position, or forearm drops/elbow up

33
Q

ACJ testing cluster
