Purpose[edit | edit source]
Anterior Drawer Test of the shoulder is used to examine the Anterior shoulder instability.
Technique[edit | edit source]
Step1. Patient in supine position.
Step2. Relax the affected shoulder by holding patients arm ( or placing hand on axilla) with therapist one hand.
Step3. Abduct the patient shoulder between the 80 and 120 degree, Forward flexed up to 20 degree, laterally rotated up to 30 degree.
