Pectoralis Major MMT
Position:
- AG: Supine
- GM: seated
Movement
- Sternal head: arm to 130 abduction and then move in extension and adduction
- Clavicular horizontal adduction at 90 of abduction
Resistance
- Proximal elbow
Subscapularis MMT
Position:
AG: prone with elbow flexed over table
GM: prone with shoulder flexed over table
Movement: IR
Resistance: proximal to wrist
Infraspinatus/teres minor MMT
Position:
AG: prone with elbow flexed over table

Movement: ER
Resistance: proximal to wrist
Lateral scapular slide test
- determines the stability of the scapula during glenohumeral movements
- pt sits or stands with arm resting at side
- measure distance from base of spine to the scapula to the spinous (T2-T3) process or from inferior angle to SP T7-T9
- Then measure in 2-4 other positions
a) hand on hip with thumb posteriorly (abducted 45)
B) 90º ABDUCTION WITH IR
c) 120 abduction
d) 150 abduction - in each position the distance should not vary more than 1 -1.5 cm from the original measure
Scapular repositioning test
Move shoulder to correct posture and retest flexion/impingment
Anterior apprehension test
- Patient is supine, abduct to 90° and ER
- Looking for alarmed facial expression or apprehension
- Checking anterior capsule stability
- Positive = pain
- If positive, don’t have to do fulcrum test
