Purpose
[edit | edit source]
The Apprehension test is generally used to test the integrity of the glenohumeral joint capsule, or to assess glenohumeral instability.
Technique
[edit | edit source]
The patient should be position in supine. The therapist will flex the patient's elbow to 90 degrees and abducts the patient's shoulder to 90 degrees, maintaining neutral rotation. The examiner then slowly applies an external rotation force to the arm to 90 degrees while carefully monitoring the patient[1]. Patient apprehension from this maneuver, not pain, is considered a positive test. Pain with the maneuver, but not apprehension may indicate a pathology other than instability, such as posterior impingement of the rotator cuff[2].
