A positive impingement test, discomfort at less than 45° abduction, or discomfort with unilateral shoulder elevation would exclude the subject from participation in this study.

Self-assessment Range of Motion Test: ... Scaption:"Scapular plane elevation" Similar to a lateral shoulder fly, you lift your arm upwards on an angle 30-degrees forward of the frontal plane.

The tests included shoulder rotation ROM, joint position sense (JPS), rotation isometric peak torque (figure 1), latissimus dorsi (LD) length, handgrip force (HGF) and combined elevation test (CET).

A recent study showed that patients with lost motion in external rotation (outward rotation of the arm) will also lose elevation (forward and sideward reaching) resulting in predictable patterns ...
