Q

muscles responsible for shoulder abduction

A

middle deltoid- patient adducts AROM–> palpate on the lateral aspect of the shoulder

supraspinatus- initiation of abduction - palpate in supraspinatus fossa
–> can also be palpated as the patient places their hand on the small of their back with an internally rotated arm (palpate on superior surface of greater tubercle (just distal to the AC joint)

Q

muscles responsible for shoulder internal rotation

A

subscapularis

PATIENT POSITION- sitting 1. lean forward and let arm hang 2. instruct patient to abduct their arm to approximately 60 degrees, patient will push down like they were about to go into internal rotation (therapist will resist this motion) 3. MUSCLE BELLY- palpate in the posterior/lateral aspect of the axilla for muscle belly 4. TENDON- palpate tendons just medial to the lesser tubercle during resisted internal rotation

Q

muscles responsible for shoulder external rotation

A

infraspinatus
-palpate below the spine of the scapula

teres minor
-palpate at the axillary border

PATIENT POSITION: sitting 1. slightly abducted and externally rotated at shoulder (apply resistance in opposite direction) 2. palpate infraspinatus below spine of scapula 2. lateral border of scapula–> teres minor MUSCLE BELLY (while you press into adduction and internal rotation) 3. TENDON OF INFRASPINATUS- exaggerated extension of the shoulder and slight adduction –> tendon is just posterior to the greater tubercle (ALSO can palpate tendon with patient prone and leaning forward on elbows)
