The Shoulder

Procedure:

• One hand at the contralateral base of the neck
• other hand proximal to the elbow

Normal range: 180-200°

Endfeel: ligamentous

Remark: The elevation of the arm is conducted simultaneously at the scapulohumeral joint and at the shouldergirdle.
A dysfunction (pain and/or limitation) of the elevation may therefore be localized at several levels.
The result of the test should therefore always be interpreted in relation to the rest of the functional examination.
