Shoulder Apprehension Test | Anterior Shoulder Instability

[@panayiotischapoupis9317]

I think is very important to mention this test is positive if your patient stops the extrernal rotation by active pectoralis contraction(due to feeling of the subluxation)

[@Physiotutors]

Exactly

[@saramaxon1946]

A quick question! While performing the test, can we replace the horizontal abduction to bring the humeral head anterior with placing our hand beneath the posterior humerus and giving it anterior glide instead?

Great video, info you can take right to the bedside!😊

[@ayyjayy5018]

My surgeon did this today, safe to say I was apprehensive 😂

[@nihshnihsh5868]

it was too good thank you but plz upload a video about anterior drawer test of shoulder i really can't undertsand others videos

[@Physiotutors]

yeah, this one's still missing indeed. Best test for anterior stability is apprehension+Relocation though.

[@brainyaction3867]

Yes plz

Hi Physiotutors, are there any plans for making a treatment app similar to the assessment app? Great videos btw!

[@Physiotutors]

Not in the near future

[@bengough6955]

Think I'll need this for army physical but I have all the range in my shoulder....no pop in 10 years no pain when rotating....feel like I'll be ok :) good video cos I have no idea what it was when I read I may have to do it lol

What therapeutic management should we apply to shoulder instability?

Hello, my friend Eleni is asking if u have ever been in Greece?

[@stefanr00]

Hey Physiotutors! I have a question regarding the apprehension test. This test can detect anterior shoulder instability. But does it matter if it is atraumatic or traumatic of origin? The paper of Jaggi from 2010 says that a clinical sign of atraumatic structural (Polar type II) is a positive apprehension test. But all the diagnostic accuracy studies I could find included traumatic (with a history of luxation) instability. Is the apprehension test a valid test for diagnosing atraumatic anterior shoulder instability?

[@Physiotutors]

Hi Stefan, that's a good point. In this case the test has limited external validity for nontraumatic cases. From a biomechanical standpoint we don't see how it should be any less valid though.

Watch our video on “why knees crack”

Where are u from?

[@smartmido8650]

Good

[@RachelRichers]

I generally do this test w/ anterior directed pressure to posterior aspect of humeral head - why the HAB instead?

[@Physiotutors]

anteriorly directed pressure would be a different test, but makes sense biomechanically. HAB makes more sense arthrokinematically as well.

[@noahmcdaniel4920]

Describe apprehension. I mean I think anyone would worry they’re shoulder was going to come out if you externally rotate too far

[@Physiotutors]

You'll know it when you have it

[@a7medanis101]

You have got some hair through the years I see

[@Brizzo200]

Why dont you give a example of a patient being apprehe sive

[@Physiotutors]

They simply wouldn’t allow the arm to be moved into much of external rotation and abort the maneuver
