  • Infraspinatus test- Patient holds arm at their side with elbow flexed to 90 degrees and then externally rotates shoulder against resistance
  • Subscapularis test-patient holds arm at their side with elbow flexed to 90 degrees and then internally rotates shoulder against resistance
  • Crossed body adduction test (acromioclavicular joint)- Adduct the patient's arm across the chest.
  • Neer test (subacromial impingement)-Forward flex patient’s arm while depressing scapula or acromion -
  • Hawkins test (subacromial impingement)-Abduct patient’s shoulder to 90 degrees with elbow flexed at 90 degrees and internally rotate shoulder -

Special Tests

Steps
  • Tinel sign (for Carpal tunnel syndrome)-Examiner taps volar aspect of wrist between thenar and hypothenar proximal eminences
  • Phalen test (for Carpal tunnel syndrome)-Patient holds wrists fully flexed with dorsal surfaces held together for 1 minute
  • Hand grip stength- Ask the patient to grasp your second and third fingers as tightly as possible. ulnarnerve test
  • Thumb tenosynovitis (Finkelstein) test- Patient grasps the thumb against the pam and then moves the wrist toward the midline in ulnar deviation. Complete bilaterally for campison. Positive sign- pain with ulnar deviation
  • Thumb Abduction test - patient abducts thumb against resistance Carpal Tunnel
  • Consider whether a neurological examination is necessary when completing a musculosketal examination.
