Commonly asked questions

Orthopedic professionals, sports medicine practitioners, and clinicians specializing in shoulder assessments commonly use Sulcus Tests.

Sulcus Tests are employed to assess shoulder stability, especially in suspected inferior or multidirectional instability cases.

During Sulcus Tests, the examiner stabilizes the shoulder girdle, holds the patient's elbow, and gently pulls downward to observe for a visible sulcus or step-off deformity between the acromion and humeral head, indicating potential instability.
