Acute Shoulder Injury Evaluation with Paul Marquis PT

In this Acute Shoulder Injury Evaluation with Paul Marquis PT I evaluate this gentleman who slipped on the ice one day ago and injured his shoulder. I'm suspecting a supraspinatus and subscapularis injury. I demo the belly press test, the bear hug test, empty can test and perform manual muscle testing to come to my conclusion.

thank you so much for having a real patient and for explaining the "why" so well. Far more helpful than watching videos of UE tests performed on people with no issues

[jonhamilton]

Please keep these videos coming. Truly appreciated.

Recently injured and found your channel for some at home tests (I will go to Dr if symptoms continue). Thank you for the information and thank you to all the patients willing to be filmed to see their reactions for the evaluations.

5:31 if there is a tear, what do you actually do with the gentleman.

A splint, surgery or different approach to exercise??
I'm unsure

[monydroog]

Hi Paul, Thanks a lot for your amazing videos always with real patient
I am really interested to know after 2 months if that patient able to elevate his arm after his inflammation subsided as you said or he was needed to do MRI
Thanks appreciate

From your clinical experience what do you trust more for diagnosing rotator cuff tears: the special tests or direct palpation of the tendons?

[thakurdeepaktomar]

Sir i have pain in right solder my solder crash on road . when i angling a cross my hand they are painful.

[michaelmetzger]

Unable to perform S flex. AROM but has full pain free PROM. Is this classic for rotator cuff injuries in the acute phase?

[crissidares]

Thank you for this. Im in pain and just wanted to get a slightly better understanding before being fobbed off at the doctors.

[MrShidokan]

I think you made the infraspinatus muscle upset by forgetting to test it for a potential tear too 😃.

I've had a shoulder injury, my Xray and MRI are normal. My shoulder looks fine but as soon as I work with it, it starts paining, also I can hear a crack sound coming from the joint while rotating my shoulder. What to do ? Which physio exercises to do to get over it?
