Video 13 Lateral scapula slide test

During the examination, the degree of asymmetry between the two shoulder blades is measured during the patient’s active shoulder movements, at the height of the inferior angle (performed up to the spinous processes of the dorsal vertebrae, on the same horizontal plane). Position 1 is with the shoulder in a neutral position, then the humerus is medially rotated and abducted to 45 degrees by placing the patient’s hands around the waist, then the humerus is placed in maximum medial rotation and abducted to 90 degrees.  
The test is positive if there is a difference of 1.5 cm or more when comparing the measurements bilaterally.
