Scapular Tests
Lateral scapular slide test This test allows for identification of scapulothoracic motion deficiencies with the contralateral Sensitivity: 28-50
side as an internal control. The reference point used is the nearest spinous process. A Specificity: 48-58
scapulothoracic motion abnormality is noted if there is at least a 1-cm difference. The first
position of the test is with the arm relaxed at the side. The second is with the hands on the
hips with the fingers anterior and the thumb posterior with about 10 degrees of shoulder
extension. The third position is with the arms at or below 90 degrees of arm elevation with
maximal internal rotation at the glenohumeral joint. These positions offer a graded challenge
to the functioning of the shoulder muscles to stabilize the scapula.
Isometric pinch test This test is used to evaluate scapular muscle strength. The patient is asked to retract the scapula Unavailable
into an “isometric pinch.” Scapular muscle weakness can be noted as a burning pain in less
than 15 seconds. Normally, the scapula can be held in this position for 15 to 20 seconds with
no discomfort.
Scapular assistance test A positive test is when symptoms of impingement, clicking, or rotator cuff weakness are Unavailable
improved when assisting the lower trapezius by manually stabilizing the upper medial border
(of the scapula) and rotating the inferomedial border as the arm is abducted or adducted.

position.
Fowler’s sign The examiner performs the apprehension test and at the point where the patient feels pain or Sensitivity: 30-68
apprehension the examiner applies a posteriorly directed force to the humeral head. If the Specificity: 44-100
pain persists despite the posteriorly applied force, it is primary impingement. If there is full
pain-free external range, it is a result of instability.
Load and shift test The scapula is stabilized by securing the coracoid and the spine of the scapula with one hand Sensitivity: 91
with the patient in a sitting or supine position. The humeral head is then grasped with the Specificity: 93
other hand to glide it anteriorly and posteriorly. The degree of glide is graded mild, moderate,
or severe.
Labral Disorder Tests
Active compression test The patient is asked to forward flex the affected arm 90 degrees with the elbow in full Sensitivity: 32-100

plane of the body with the arm internally rotated so the thumb is pointed downward. The
examiner then applies downward force to the arm. With the arm in the same position, the
palm is then supinated and the maneuver is repeated. The test is considered positive if pain is
elicited with the first maneuver and is reduced or eliminated with the second maneuver.
Crank test With the patient in an upright position, the arm is elevated to 160 degrees in the scapular plane. Sensitivity: 46-91
Joint load is applied along the axis of the humerus with one hand while the other performs Specificity: 56-100
humeral rotation. A positive test is when there is pain during the maneuver during external
rotation with or without a click, or reproduction of the symptoms. The test should be
repeated in the supine position when the muscles are more relaxed.
Compression-rotation test With the patient supine, the shoulder is abducted to 90 degrees, and the elbow flexed at 90 Sensitivity: 80
degrees. A compression force is applied to the humerus, which is then rotated, in an attempt Specificity: 19-49
to trap the torn labrum with reproduction of a snap or catch.

Lateral and Medial Epicondylitis Tests
Resisted wrist extension For lateral elbow pain, the test is positive if pain is worsened with extension of the wrist against Unavailable
resistance.
Resisted wrist flexion and This test is positive if medial epicondylar pain is reproduced with forced wrist extension as the Unavailable
pronation patient maintains the elbow in 90 degrees of flexion, with the forearm supinated with the
wrist flexed. A positive test indicates involvement of the flexor carpi radialis tendon. Medial
elbow pain is most exacerbated with the elbow flexed.
Elbow Stability Tests
Posterolateral rotatory This test is used to uncover a dislocated radiohumeral joint, which manifests as an obvious Unavailable
instability dimpling of the skin, generally at a maximum of 40 degrees of elbow flexion. The test is
accomplished starting with the patient’s forearm in full supination with the elbow in full
extension, the examiner slowly flexes the elbow while applying valgus and supination moments
and an axial compression force, producing a rotary subluxation of the ulnohumeral joint.
Varus stress This test is positive if there is excessive gapping on the lateral aspect of the elbow joint. The Unavailable
arm is placed in 20 degrees of flexion with slight supination beyond neutral. The examiner
gently stresses the lateral side of the elbow joint.

Sacroiliac Joint Disorder Tests
Standing flexion test This test is performed with the patient standing, facing away from the examiner with the Sensitivity: 1757
patient’s feet approximately 12 inches apart so that the patient’s feet are parallel and Specificity: 79
approximately acetabular distance apart. The examiner’s thumbs are then placed on the
inferior aspect of each posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS). The patient is asked to bend
forward with both knees extended. The extent of the cephalad movement of each PSIS is
monitored. Normally, the PSIS should move equally. If one PSIS moves superiorly and
anteriorly compared with the other, this is the side of restriction.
Seated flexion test This test is performed with the patient seated with both feet on the floor. The examiner stands Sensitivity: 957
or sits behind the patient with the eyes at the level of the iliac crests and the examiner’s Specificity: 93
thumbs are placed on each PSIS; the patient is instructed to flex forward. The test is positive
if one PSIS moves unequally cephalad with respect to the other PSIS. The side with the
greatest cephalad excursion implies articular restriction and hypomobility. While the patient is
seated, the innominates are fixed in place, thus isolating out iliac motion.
Gillet test (One-leg Stork This test is performed with the patient standing, facing away from the examiner, with the feet Sensitivity: 857

pressure of the examiner’s hand on the top of the knee. With the opposite hand, the
examiner assists the patient in fixing the lumbar spine and pelvis by pressure over the
(e) patient’s clasped hands. The hyperextension of the hip exerts a rotating force on the
kalonyen
sacroiliaca joint corresponding half of the pelvis in the sagittal plane through the transverse axis of the
sacroiliac joint. The rotating force causes abnormal mobility accompanied by pain, either local
or referred on the side of the lesion.
Shear test This test consists of the patient lying in the prone position, and the examiner applies pressure Sensitivity: 6355

an unstable hip on the affected side.
Patrick (FABERE) test See earlier (Sacroiliac Joint Disorder Tests). See above
Stinchfield test With the patient supine and the knee extended, the examiner resists the patient’s hip flexion at Sensitivity: 5966
20 to 30 degrees. Reproduction of groin pain is considered a positive test indicating Specificity: 32
intraarticular hip dysfunction.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tests
Anterior drawer test The patient is supine, hip flexed to 45 degrees with the knee flexed to 90 degrees. The examiner Sensitivity: 22-70
sits on the patient’s foot, with hands behind the proximal tibia and thumbs on the tibial Specificity: 97
plateau. Anterior force is applied to the proximal tibia. Hamstring tendons are palpated with
index fingers to ensure relaxation. Increased tibial displacement compared with the opposite
side is indicative of an anterior cruciate ligament tear.
Lachman test The patient lies supine. The knee is held between full extension and 15 degrees of flexion. The Sensitivity: 859
femur is stabilized with one hand while firm pressure is applied to the posterior aspect of the Specificity: 94
proximal tibia in an attempt to translate it anteriorly.
Pivot shift test The leg is picked up at the ankle. The knee is flexed by placing the heel of the hand behind the Sensitivity: 35-95
fibula. As the knee is extended, the tibia is supported on the lateral side with a slight valgus Specificity: 98-100
strain. A strong valgus force is placed on the knee by the upper hand. At approximately 30
degrees of flexion, the displaced tibia will suddenly reduce, indicating a positive pivot shift test.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tests
Posterior sag sign The patient lies supine with the hip flexed to 45 degrees and the knee flexed to 90 degrees. In Sensitivity: 79
this position, the tibia “rocks back,” or sags back, on the femur if the posterior cruciate Specificity: 100
ligament is torn. Normally, the medial tibial plateau extends 1 cm anteriorly beyond the
femoral condyle when the knee is flexed 90 degrees.
Posterior drawer test The patient is supine with the test hip flexed to 45 degrees, knee flexed to 90 degrees, and foot Sensitivity: 90
in neutral position. The examiner sits on the patient’s foot with both hands behind the Specificity: 99
patient’s proximal tibia and thumbs on the tibial plateau. Posterior force is applied to the
proximal tibia. Increased posterior tibial displacement as compared with the uninvolved side is
indicative of a partial or complete tear of the posterior cruciate ligament.
Patellofemoral Tests
Patellar grind test The patient is supine with the knees extended. The examiner stands next to the involved side Unavailable
(compression test) and places the web space of the thumb on the superior border of the patella. The patient is
asked to contract the quadriceps muscle while the examiner applies downward and inferior
ganpasientaruhbawah pressure on the patella. Pain with movement of the patella or an inability to complete the test
is indicative of patellofemoral dysfunction.
