shoulder special tests Flashcards
SC/AC Joint Play
Pain, hypermobility, hypomobilityhyper - laxity/sprainhypo - joint adhesions
GH Joint Play
Inferior: inferior joint capsule, superior GH ligament, CH ligamentAnterior: CH ligament, GH ligaments, anterior joint capsule, labral tearPosterior: Posterior joint capsule, labral tear
AC Traction
diagnose AC instabilitysprain of the AC or costclavicular ligaments
AC Compression Test
stress the coracoclavicular ligamentDamage to AC ligament
Apprehension Test
compromised anterior capsule, GH ligament, and glenoid labrum –>allows for dislocationrotator cuff pathologydeep posterior pn – internal impingement
Relocation and Anterior Release Tests
tests for Anterior GH Laxity+ test = decrease in pn with pressureRelocation test: anterior pn - anterior laxity/labrumposterior pn - posterior laxity/labrumAnterior release: Apprehension or pn when pressure removed
Posterior Apprehension Test
Laxity in the posterior GH capsule, torn posterior labrum
Jerk Test
+ test - clunkposteriorinferior labral tear
Sulcus Sign
GH Laxitylaxity of superior GH ligament
Neer Test
Rotator Cuff (*supraspinatus) or long head of the biceps(between greater tubercle and inferior accordion process)
The Kennedy Hawkins Shoulder Test
Rotator Cuff (*Supraspinatus) or long head of biceps(between greater tubercle and inferior accordion process)
Empty Can or Full can
Supraspintusweakness and pain - partial thickness tear
Yergason’s

Speed’s Test
Biceps Brachii Tendinopathy. inflammation of biceps tendon, pn at superior shoulder - SLAP lesion
