Posterior portion is primary restraint to posterior translation in Abd/IR

2 tests of shoulder anterior instability

Apprehension sign: over pressure to ER, look for apprehension or pain




Relocation test: apply posterior force to relocate, look for relief of apprehension

Describe shoulder abduction force couple

Early in abduction, the anterior/middle deltoid pulls superiority (an upward shear force) while the supraspinatus gets abduction started.


As the arm is abducted to 90 degrees, the direction of pull of the deltoid becomes similar to the pull of the supraspinatus.

Describe the rotator cuff force couple

The subscap, infraspinatus, and teres minor depress the humeral head, counteracting the upward pull of the supraspinatus and deltoid.


The infraspinatus becomes a humeral head depressor with the arm at 90 Abd and neutral rotation.


The subscapularis acts as a humeral head depressor in ER.


The rotator cuff provides direct joint compression, keeps the humeral head compressed to and centered within the gleoid and allows the deltoid to function.

- extension


- IR/ER total arm at side
