The Shoulder
Clinical Examination of the Shoulder Girdle
Passive movements
- Three passive tests are performed.
- Attention is paid to the range of movement, the influence on pain and the end-feel:
- The passive elevation is executed via an axial and upwards pressure on the olecranon of a flexed elbow.
- The other hand stabilizes the trunk at the contralateral side of the neck.
- The movement is pushed through, until a hard ligamentous endfeel is reached.
- Passive adduction and passive abduction of the shoulder girdle are performed at both sides simultaneously.
- Endfeel is once again ligamentous.
