Special testing is generally performed following a full examination of the shoulder that includes but is not limited to patient history, mechanism of injury, clinical observation, bony and soft tissue palpation, assessment of active and passive physiological movements, assessment of passive arthokinematic / accessory joint mobility ...

Supraspinatus Test The supraspinatus tendon is the most frequently injured tendon of the rotator cuff. To test for integrity of the supraspinatus we can ask the patient to abduct both arms to 90° and then to bring them anteriorly with a 30° forward flexion.

The Empty Can Test, along with the Full Can Test is a commonly used orthopedic examination test for supraspinatus impingement or integrity of the supraspinatus muscle and tendon. The test is usually easier in sitting or standing.

2021年8月6日 · tests for supraspinatus weakness and/or impingement technique abduct arm to 90°, angle forward 30° (bringing it into the scapular plane), and internally rotate (thumb pointing to floor).

The Empty Can Test, along with the Full Can Test is a commonly used orthopedic examination test for supraspinatus impingement or integrity of the supraspinatus muscle and tendon. The test is also sometimes called the Empty Beer Can Test.

Supraspinatus muscle is the most frequently injured muscle among all other rotator cuff.7 In this section, 5 tests are presented to clinically examine supraspinatus muscle: the Neer impingement, the Hawkins-Kennedy, the Jobe (empty-can), the painful arc, and the drop-arm tests.

A combination of diagnostic tests for supraspinatus tendon tears including the empty can, full can, and the zero-degree abduction tests showed the best AUC (0.795) and hence the best diagnostic value.

Supraspinatus Strength Test Or The Empty Can Test. The patient stands with both arms in 90 degrees of abduction, 30 degrees of horizontal adduction and full internal rotation. Assesses the strength of the supraspinatus muscle. Ask the patient to maintain this position.

The hug-up test can accurately detect supraspinatus tears with a high sensitivity, comparable specificity, and low NLR compared with the conventional clinical tests and could, therefore, improve the diagnosis of supraspinatus tears in clinical settings.
