Grade 2: side lying
Comp patterns: shoulder elevation, elbow flexion
Shoulder extension
Primary M: posterior delt, latissisimus dorsi Secondary M: long head triceps Grade 5: prone with PALM FACING UP Grade 2: side lying Comp patterns: shoulder abduction
Shoulder Abduction
Primary M: middle delt, supraspinatus
Secondary M: long head biceps
Grade 2:
Comp patterns:
*would want to assess scapular abduction and upward rotation (serratus anterior) before test
Shoulder ER
Primary M: infraspinatus, teres minor Secondary M: posterior deltoid Grade 5: prone w tool underneath humerus Grade 2: seated with arm on the table Comp patterns:
Shouler IR
Primary M: subscapularis, teres major
Secondary M: pectoralis major
Grade 2: seated with arm on table
Comp patterns:
Shoulder horizontal adduction
Primary M: pectoralis major Secondary M: latissimus dorsi Grade 2: seated Grade 5: supine Comp patterns: protraction
*you can bias sternal and clavicular heads
Shoulder horizontal abduction
Primary M: posterior delt Secondary M: supraspinatus Grade 2: seated Grade 5: prone Comp patterns: shoulder extension/adduction combo, ER or IR
Scapular abduction and upward rotation (protraction)
Primary M: serratus anterior
Secondary M: pectorals minor
Grade 2: scapula moves towards the spine
Grade 5: seated, raise arm and push down just above elbow
Comp patterns:
Scapular elevation
Primary M: upper trap, levator scap Secondary M: rhomboids Grade 5: seating Grade 2: prone Comp patterns:
Scapular adduction (retraction)
Primary M: middle trap, rhomboid major Secondary M: upper and lower trap Grade 2: prone w supported arm Grade 5: prone Comp patterns:
- *posterior delt considerations, should be at least a grade 3
- if posterior delt is a 2 or less apply pressure proximally
Scapular depression and adduction
Primary M: lower and middle traps Secondary M: latissimus dorsi Grade 2: prone w arm supported. can complete full scapular ROM w out weight of the arm Grade 5: prone Comp patterns:
Scapular retraction and downward rotation
Primary M: rhomboid major and minor Secondary M: levator scap Grade 2: prone, can complete scapular ROM towards spine Grade 5: prone with arm behind back Comp patterns:
*can do Kendall method for grades 4 and 5
