    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Physical Therapy
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • The shoulder complex is prone to various movement disorders.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective physical therapy intervention.
    • Current examination protocols may lack detailed functional assessment interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a comprehensive protocol for the examination of the shoulder complex.
    • To emphasize the functional portion of the objective examination and its interpretation.
    • To aid physical therapists in classifying shoulder dysfunctions and guiding treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • The examination protocol is divided into subjective and objective components.
    • The objective examination includes active/passive range-of-motion, accessory mobility, resisted tests, and palpation.

  • Interpretation focuses on classifying movement disorders into non-contractile and contractile tissue dysfunctions.

    • Main Results:

    • The functional examination allows for the classification of shoulder movement disorders.
    • The protocol helps differentiate between contractile and non-contractile tissue pathologies.
    • Assessment of pathology severity and healing stages is facilitated.

    Conclusions:

    • This protocol provides a structured approach to shoulder complex examination.
    • Functional assessment is key to accurate diagnosis and targeted physical therapy.
    • The protocol assists in setting treatment goals and selecting therapeutic strategies.
