Empty Can (Jobe) Test on Shoulder Exam

With the shoulder flexed 90 degrees, rotate internally and pronate to get the hand in the thumbs down position, as though emptying out a can.  The examiner pushes downward on the arm against the patient's resistance.  The test is positive with pain or weakness with resistance, suggesting supraspinatus muscle or tendon pathology.
