Anatomy Series - The Shoulder Exam

The purpose of this video is to draw connections between the various clinical skills taught to medical learners and their anatomy correlates. So next time you’re performing a shoulder exam (or having one performed on you), take a moment to think about the structures you are really testing to get a better understanding of the underlying problem that is causing pain, weakness, or other burdensome symptoms! This video is meant for educational purposes only and is not meant to be medical advice. Please consult your healthcare provider for any healthcare concerns.
