Lab 5: Shoulder Examination Techniques: Emphasis on Special Testing and Upper Extremity Functional Testing

This session will include a brief discussion of special testing procedures and functional testing methods for the upper extremities. The discussion will be followed by an extensive lab session on an upper extremity special testing algorithm along with an upper extremity functional testing sequence that will help determine a patient’s ability to return to higher level functional activities. After the tests, Rob Manske will present case studies that will help solidify the information and help you apply the upper extremity tests in your clinic.
