Shoulder Bursitis Test

This test should be completed during a client consultation following complaints of shoulder pain, particularly when there is swelling around the shoulder area.

The test typically begins with assessing patient information, including the activities that led to the shoulder pain, the level of pain, and when it began. This is then followed by a physical examination of the area and a shoulder range of motion test to assess mobility.

Although symptoms can vary depending on the type of bursitis and individual factors, common signs include swelling, redness, warmth, pain, and stiffness of the shoulder and surrounding areas.
