The examiner palpates the patient’s clavicle and
manipulates it inferiorly, superiorly, medially, and
laterally
Pain or crepitus indicates a positive test for
possible clavicular fracture



Patient begins by abducting both arms to 90
degrees
Examiner then pushes downward on both arms
with equal force
Test is positive for rotator cuff injury if patient
experiences pain or pt’s arm(s) can be pushed
down without springing back into position once
the examiner suddenly stops applying the
downward force



Pt in standing, the examiner instructs pt to internally rotate the
shoulder and point the thumb toward the floor
Examiner then resists the pt’s movement into full abduction
Examiner should perform the test in four different planes
 Abduction between 0 and 45 degrees in front of the body =
supraspinatus
 Abduction/flexion greater than 45 degrees in front of the body but less
than 90 degrees = infraspinatus
 Shoulder flexion in the empty can position straight out in front of the
body = teres minor
 Test performed across the body = subscapularis

Any pain or weakness in any of the movements is a positive test
for strain of the affected rotator cuff muscle(s).


Pt in standing, the examiner instructs the pt to
externally rotate the shoulders and actively lift
both arms overhead
Test positive for rotator cuff strain if the pt notes
pain and/or is unable to perform the movement




Pt begins standing with the arms abducted to 90
degrees and externally rotated, and the elbows flexed to
90 degrees
From this position, pt’s hands will remain in the frontal
plane, however, the palmar surface will be positioned
anteriorly and the hands will be held overhead
Examiner then uses both of his/her hands to forcefully
push the pt’s hands posteriorly while pt resists
Pain indicates a positive test for muscle strain to one or
more of the rotator cuff muscles



The examiner prepositions the pt with dorsal
surface of pt’s hand over the lumbar spine (end
range shoulder internal rotation)
Examiner applies resistance as pt attempts to lift
the hand off the spine and push posteriorly
Weakness indicates a positive test for
subscapularis muscular injury






Examiner stabilizes the pt’s involved upper arm and resists
active shoulder external rotation and/or abduction
Pt is asked to rate his/her pain
Obvious pain is a positive sign for rotator cuff tendon pathology
and/or subacromial bursitis
Examiner then applies a caudal pull to the upper arm, resulting
in a traction force at the glenohumeral joint
During the pull, pt is instructed to repeat the resisted active
shoulder external rotation and/or abduction
If pain was present when the test was performed with no pull,
reduced pain with a pull is indicative of subacromial bursitis,
while no change or increased pain is indicative of rotator cuff
pathology.
