Shoulder Apprehension Test

A positive result on the Shoulder Apprehension Test suggests the presence of shoulder instability or an increased risk of dislocation.

The Shoulder Apprehension Test may cause some discomfort or apprehension in individuals with shoulder instability, but the healthcare provider performs the test cautiously to minimize any unnecessary pain.

The Shoulder Apprehension Test is part of the diagnostic process for shoulder instability, but it is typically used in conjunction with a thorough clinical history, physical examination, and possibly additional imaging or diagnostic tests.
