Clinical Examination Of Shoulder & Rotator Cuff - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim
Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes clinical evaluation tests for rotator cuff tears and subacromial impingement.
Clinical Examination of Shoulder & Rotator Cuff
There are multiple tests that are used for clinical evaluation of the subacromial impingement and cuff pathology. In the Neer’s Test, the patient should be standing or sitting upright. The examiner will passively elevate the pronated arm of the patient above the level of the shoulder. Pain at the anterolateral aspect of the shoulder indicates subacromial impingement. In the Hawkin’s test, the patient should be standing or sitting upright with the arm fully adducted and forwardly flexed. The elbow is also flexed. The examiner will place one hand on the patient’s shoulder and apply internal rotation to the effected arm with the other hand. Pain at the shoulder indicates subacromial impingement. In the Drop Arm test, the patient should be standing or sitting upright. The patient is asked to hold the affected arm in abduction at the level of the shoulder then smoothly adduct the arm. A patient who is not suffering from a rotator cuff tear can lower the arm smoothly to the side. A patient suffering from a rotator cuff tear will not be able to hold the arm in abduction and the arm will drop rapidly. In the Belly-Press test, the patient should be standing with the hand of the affected arm at rest against the stomach with the elbow anterior to the midaxillary line. The patient is then asked to press the belling using the affected arm without moving the elbow. Failure to maintain the elbow anterior to the midaxillary line while pressing against the belly indicates subscapularis tear. In the Lift Off test, the patient should be standing with the affected arm internally rotated behind the back so that the dorsum of the hand will be resting on the lumbar area from the back. The examiner will passively lift the arm away from the patient’s back. Once the examiner releases the arm, failure to maintain the position of the arm away from the back indicates a subscapularis tendon tear. In the Adduction/External Rotation test, the patient should be standing with the affected arm abducted and the elbow flexed. The examiner will fully externally rotate the arm. With the release of the arm, failure to maintain active full external rotation indicates an infraspinatus tendon tear. Also, weakness of external rotation with the arm to the side could indicate an infraspinatus tendon tear. In the Jobe test, the patient should be standing or sitting upright. The arm should be anteriorly flexed at the level of the shoulder. The arm should be fully pronated into the “empty can position”. The patient should resist the downward force applied on the forearm by the examiner. Pain or weakness indicates a supraspinatus tendon lesion or tear.

But behind my back side to side at the elbow is fine but at rest and lifting arm arm ,.... jesus smh
This was very helpful. I failed all the test. I told my dr almost a year ago about this pain, he took a exray and said my bra was giving me pain??? I cant even pick up a remote control now, brush my hair not put on my seat belt without leaning over to the passenger seat and using the right arm to reach over left shoulder. I guess its time for a second opinion. JazakAllahkheir

When I got a second opinion from an orthopedic I had a complete tare of my labrum, rotator cuff, and bicep, multiple bone spurs had broken off and a large cyst had developed which was about to rupture! I had the surgery to repair everything two months ago, and it looks like because there was so much damage, I will need a complete shoulder replacement!

@@EllenCPickle I hope you get there in the end it’s so stressful to just get to the points and get it fixed. The nhs is the British healthcare system is absolutely awful and your condition ends up getting worse from there neglect, I’ve gone private now so hopefully I can get a true diagnosis soon. Goodluck!

@@EllenCPickle have you recovered well from all that damage? I had shoulder separations at ages 13 and 14 with possible rotator cuff and labrum tears. 11 years later my shoulder feels destroyed. I am trying to get an MRI because something gave way and now my shoulder is pretty much amputated.
Failed belly press and lift off test still cant get correct imaging feel like I'm about to loose function of my arm permanently. God bless insurance companies 🖕
Hawkins at 90 abduction and flexion not end range..
I think I have all those wtf
لو أري أخي بيد 😢
