Shoulder Special Test

These are specific physical maneuvers performed by your doctor to assess the function and stability of your shoulder joint, tendons, and ligaments. Each test targets different structures of the affected shoulder, helping to identify possible causes of your pain.

While some discomfort is common during the tests, they shouldn't be excruciatingly painful. If you experience significant pain during any test, let your doctor know immediately.

These tests provide valuable clues, but they're not foolproof. Your doctor might need additional imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best treatment course.
