Glenohumeral joint
Capsular ligaments: joins the glenohumeral joint capsule anteriorly, inferiorly, and posteriorly Coracohumeral ligament: provides stability superiorly, preventing superior translation
Physical Examination
Look
From the front, side, & above: Asymmetry, scars, deltoid wasting, SCJ or ACJ deformity, swelling of the joint. From behind : Look and feel for rotator cuff wasting, scapula shape and situation e.g. winging, Sprengel shoulder etc.
Subacromial Impingement
Hawkin's test:
Shoulder flexed 90, elbow flexed 90;
Subacromial Impingement
Empty Can Test (Copeland):
Passive abduction in internal rotation (in the scapula plane) painful; pain eliminated with passive abduction in external rotation.
AC Joint
Scarf test:
Forced cross body adduction in 90flexion, pain at the extreme of motion over The ACJ is indicative of ACJ pathology
Supraspinatus/anterosuperior cuff
Jobe's test
(empty can test): Arm abducted to 20, in the plane of the scapula, thumb pointing down. Resisted abduction with arms by side.
Subscapularis/Anteroinferior cuff
Gerber's lift off test:
Push examiner's hand away from 'hand behind back position.
Biceps
Speeds Test:
Elbow is extended, forearm supinated and the humerus elevated to 60. The examiner resists humeral forward flexion.
Yorgason Test:
the patient's elbow is flexed to 90 degrees with the thumb up. The examiner grasps the wrist, resisting attempts by the patient to actively supinate the arm and flex the elbow
STABILITY TESTS
Apprehension Test
Patient supine or seated and the shoulder in a neutral position at 90 degrees of abduction. Applies slight anterior pressure to the humerus and externally rotates the arm. Pain or the feeling of impending subluxation or dislocation indicates anterior glenohumeral instability.
STABILITY TESTS
Relocation Test (Jobe)
Performed immediately after a positive result on the anterior apprehension test. With the patient supine, the examiner applies posterior force on the proximal humerus while externally rotating the patient's arm. A decrease in pain or apprehension suggests anterior glenohumeral instability.
STABILITY TESTS
Posterior Apprehension Test (Jerk Test)
With the patient supine or sitting, the examiner pushes posteriorly on the humeral head with the patient's arm in 90 degrees of abduction and the elbow in 90 degrees of flexion. A positive test is indicated by a sudden jerk as the humeral head slides off the back of the glenoid.
