Then press down on arm while patient attempts to maintain position testing for weakness or pain.Special TestsApprehension and Relocationpositive test if the patient experiences the sensation of instabilitytechniquehave the patient lie supine.Apprehension test performed by bringingthe arm in 90 degrees of abduction and full external rotation and patient experiences sense of instability. Relocation test performed by placing examiner's hand on humeral head applying a posterior force on the humeral head. Patient will experience reduction or elimination of sense of instability.Questions?
