How to perform the Foraminal Compression Test
patient in sitting, head laterally flexed. therapists places both hands on the top of the patients head and exerts a downward force. positive is radiating pain and may be indicative of nerve compression
inflammatory process of the tendon of the long head of the muscle. Impingement or inflammation can result in symptoms of shoulder pain.

Anterior aspect of the acromion
How to perform shoulder external rotation MMT
patient in prone, have patient externally rotate and push down on the distal forearm.
Name of test where you passively flex patients extended arm to 180 deg with internal rotation
Neers impingement test
73 year old female dislocated her left shoulder during a recent fall. After 4 weeks of PT she still complains of limited functional mobility due to weakness and pain in the shoulder. Recent tests show drop arm and empty can are both positive.

Position of the moveable arm during cervical flexion/extension
How to perform shoulder abduction MMT
seated, arm at 90 deg abduction, push down through distal humerus
Name of test where you put arm in 90 degrees of abduction and the patient is asked to slowly lower the arm.
drop arm test

Anterior Glide
Position of the stationary arm during cervical lateral flexion
spinous processes of the thoracic spine
How to perform cervical rotation MMT
Either have the patient attempt to keep head forward while you attempt to rotate them or have them look one direction and hold it while you attempt to rotate them back to midline
describe Ludingtons test
patient in sitting, patient clasps both hands and put behind head. flexes biceps
Grades of shoulder separation and what structures are involved
Grade 1: only a mild sprain of the ligaments.
Grade 2: a more severe sprain and the AC joint is slightly separated but still intact
Grade 3: the ligaments of the AC joint are ruptured and there is a dislocation.
