Q

Lateral scapular slide test

A
  • 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

Q

Fulcrum test

A
  • Similar to apprehension test but place hand posteriorly and apply an anterior pressure
  • Done after a negative ant Apprehension
  • Positive test = pain
20
Q

Relocation test

A
  • Patient supine; apply posterior pressure to relieve symptoms
  • Take it into ER
  • Then, ease up on hand - releasing force will make them become apprehensive
  • Should feel more comfortable with anterior to posterior force because it “relocates” the humeral head
  • Similar to apprehensive
21
Q

Anterior and posterior drawer test

A
  • Tests for anterior and posterior hypermobility/stability
  • Patient supine, but can also do sitting
  • Stabilize shoulder with one hand
  • Grasp humeral head and glide anteriorly and posteriorly
  • Up to 2 cm change is high end of normal (posterior)
  • Up to 1 - 1.5 cm change is high end of normal (anterior)
22
Q

Load and shift test

A
  • similar to anterior and posterior drawer test
  • Patient sitting; looking at anterior and posterior translation
  • Grasp humeral head while stabilizing shoulder
  • Load the joint (centralize the humeral head)
  • Glide humeral head side to side, maintaining parallel to the glenoid fossa
  • +1 = roll to about over the anterior lip
  • +2 = past glenoid labrum, ant. Lip; but self-aligns
  • +3 = roll over glenoid labrum ant lip and doesn’t self-adjust
23
Q

Posterior apprehension test

A
  • Patient supine; testing for posterior capsule stability
  • flex to 90 IR, apply axial load (place hand posteriorly for support)
  • Positive = pain (if positive don’t have to do jerk test)
24
Q

Jerk test

A
  • Patient supine; looking for posterior capsule laxity
  • Flex, IR, then horizontally adduct
  • Go back and forth withaxillary load
  • Positive test = snapping or clicking when run over labrum
25
Q

Push pull test

A
  • Testing posterior capsule
  • Patient supine with arm abducted to 90° and neutral ER
  • Pull up on forearm, while pushing on humeral head
  • Looking for pain = positive or if it sublux posteriorly
26
Q

Andrews anterior stability test

A
  • Take the shoulder into 100-110 abduction and full ER
  • In that position - do a posterior to anterior glide
  • Putting into closed pack position - if they are unstable in that position they are unstable
  • If you get gliding in that position is unstable
27
Q

Drop arm test

A
  • looking at the integrity of rotator cuff (impingement)
  • Passively take arm up, and have them hold it, if they can progress to slowly lowering it
  • If unable to control motion, possible tear of RC
  • Specifically, once around 90° (starting position)
28
Q

Empty can test

A
  • tests supraspinatus
  • Testing for impingement of supraspinatus
  • IR, thumb down and resist pressure
  • Positive = pain
  • Progress to full can, thumb up and resist pressure.
  • Positive less pain or no pain than empty can
29
Q

Neer test

A
  • Looking for impingement anteriorly
  • Done PASSIVELY
  • IR, then elevate arm
  • Positive = pain
30
Q

Hawkin’s Kennedy test

A
  • Take patient to 90° flexion then internally rotate. with Elbow bent to 90
  • patients stands
  • Pain indicates Supraspinatus impingement
  • Coracoid impingement: same as hawkin’s kennedy but add resistance
31
Q

Painful arc test

A
  • Patient can be standing or sitting
  • Have patient abduct the arm, see if they have pain
  • Should have pain between 60°- 120°
  • Pain at 145 degrees is AC jt. involvement
  • Looking at impingement
32
Q

Speed’s test

A
  • Patient standing; testing for biceps pathology
  • Supinate forearm and flex shoulder to 45°
  • Apply downward pressure and have patient resist motion
  • Positive = pain
  • If no pain try placing biceps in stretched position and then apply pressure behind
33
Q

Yergeson’s test

A
  • Testing long head of the biceps or tear to transverse ligament
  • Patient standing with elbow flexed to 90°
  • Resist supination, elbow flexion and ER
  • Textbook: resist supination and flexion
34
Q

Transverse humeral ligament test

A
  • testing integrity of transverse humeral ligament
  • have patient flex to find palpation location
  • then IR & ER, if in tact should NOT feel biceps tendon
  • IR greater tubercle / ER lesser tubercle
  • positive = biceps tendon pops out or groove into finger
35
Q

Shear test (AC joint)

A
  • patient sitting or standing
  • cup hands around shoulder (one on clavicle, the other on spine of scapular)
