Positive Drop Arm Test on Shoulder Exam - Supraspinatus Injury Starting from 90 degrees of passive shoulder abduction, release support and ask the patient to slowly control the descent of the arm down to neutral position. A positive (abnormal) test is when there is a sudden drop or pain lowering the arm, indicating supraspinatus injury. A negative (normal) test is when there is controlled arm lowering without difficulty or pain. #Drop #Arm #Test #Sign #Shoulder #PhysicalExam #supraspinatus #clinical #video #msk #sports #orthopedics
