Muscles Involved:[edit | edit source]
Deltoid (posterior)
Patient Positioning[edit | edit source]
- Patient is in prone with elbow extended with arm free to move, palm directed up in direction of internal rotation
Therapist Position[edit | edit source]
- Therapist stands on test-side
- Palpation over shoulder extensors
To Test[edit | edit source]
- Patient actively extends the shoulder through available range
- For grades 4 to 5 apply resistance over posterior surface of distal humerus in a direction opposite to extension[1]
- To satisfy grade 5 'normal muscle' performance criteria, the patient must have the ability to move through complete range of motion (active resistance testing) OR maintain an end point range (break testing) against maximum resistance.
