Abdominal Compression
(Belly-Press )
Test
|
Tests for subscapularis lesion-especially for patients who cannot medially rotate the shoulder enough to take it behind the back.
|
The examiner places a hand on the abdomen so that the he or she can feel how much pressure the patient is applying to the abdomen. The patient places his or her hand of the shoulder being tested on the examiner’s hand and pushes as hard as he or she can into the stomach. The patient also attempts to bring the elbow forward in the scapular plane causing greater medial shoulder rotation. It is a positive test if the patient is unable to maintain the pressure on the examiner’s hand while moving the elbow forward or if the patient extends the shoulder.
