Jobe's Test
Jobe's test, also known as empty can test, is an orthopedic examination used to test stability of the shoulder. Purpose The purpose of this test is to determine instability for the shoulder. This test should be performed bilaterally to compare stability of both right and left shoulder joints. Procedure The patient is to lie supine on the table. They are to place their shoulder at 90° abduction. The elbow should be flexed at 90°. The examiner should stand beside the patient with distal hand holding the patient's wrist and hand. The examiner's proximal hand is to be placed over the patient's humeral head. The examiner applies a posterior force to the humeral head and externally rotates the patients humerus. Mechanism The examiner applies a posterior force to the humeral head and externally rotates the patients humerus. Results A decrease in pain or apprehension or an increase in range of motion is a positive sign for anterior instability. Anterior pain may be caused by laxit ...

Shoulder
The human shoulder is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons. The articulations between the bones of the shoulder make up the shoulder joints. The shoulder joint, also known as the glenohumeral joint, is the major joint of the shoulder, but can more broadly include the acromioclavicular joint. In human anatomy, the shoulder joint comprises the part of the body where the humerus attaches to the scapula, and the head sits in the glenoid cavity. The shoulder is the group of structures in the region of the joint. The shoulder joint is the main joint of the shoulder. It is a ball and socket joint that allows the arm to rotate in a circular fashion or to hinge out and up away from the body. The joint capsule is a soft tissue envelope that encircles the glenohumeral joint and attaches to the scapula, humerus, and head of the biceps. It is lined by a ...
