Muscles Involved:[edit | edit source]
Patient Positioning[edit | edit source]
- Patient is prone, head turned to non-test-side
- test-side arm shoulder at 90 degrees abduction and elbow in 90 degrees flexion
- For grades 0-2, gravity eliminated, the patient is seated with arm externally rotated (palm up) and arm supported on a flat surface such as a plinth
Joint start Position[edit | edit source]
- 90 degrees shoulder abduction
Therapist Position[edit | edit source]
- Stand at test side
- Palpate shoulder adductor muscles
To Test[edit | edit source]
- Patient to perform scapula adduction
- For grades 4 to 5, provide resistance over scapula in the direction opposite to scapular adduction [1]
