Shoulder Apprehension and Relocation Test
The apprehension and relocation tests evaluate for anterior glenohumeral stability
With the patient supine, abduct the shoulder to 90 degrees and externally rotate the arm to place stress on the glenohumeral joint.
If the patient feels apprehensive that the arm may dislocate it is a positive apprehension test.
The relocation test is performed using the examiner's hand to place a posteriorly directed force on the glenohumeral joint.
Relief of apprehension is a positive test.
