Physical examination of the shoulder in the primary care setting.

Abstract:

:Shoulder problems are extremely common reasons for visiting a primary care physician. To make a correct diagnosis, an appropriate physical examination must be performed. This article describes a systematic approach to the physical examination, correlating the various maneuvers and tests with the anatomy and pathology of the shoulder. The steps in this examination are: inspection, observation, palpation, manual muscle testing, and special testing. With this type of systematic approach, the physician is more likely to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
