The Shoulder
Help - Examination
You are not sure whether there is a limitation of the lateral rotation
.
- make sure that the technical execution of the
test is perfect and compare several times with the other side.
- an asymmetry in the shouldergirdle can give the impression that the lateral
rotation is being carried out less thoroughly. In that case, a good point of reference is
the position of the forearm in relation to the spina scapulae. When
a light inclination of the scapula is the cause of a diminished exorotation, then, a relatively enlarged medial rotation will make sure that the combined exo-endo movement has the same range on both sides.
- when further in doubt: simultaneous passive bilateral
lateral rotation in supine lying position. This gives a better relaxation and a
better fixation of the shouldergirdle. By carrying out the movement bilaterally, a
limitation can rather easily be discovered.
