The New Grad Physio Podcast: 'The Shoulder’s Not So ‘Special’ Tests'
from The New Grad Physio Podcast · host Andy Barker
When it comes to the shoulder and special testing, the biggest mistake that I see New Grad’s make, is doing too many tests… And worse than this… Relying too much on special testing to make a diagnosis. This is a big problem because most of the special tests at the shoulder are $*&£. They have poor sensitivity and specificity and as such, are not great tests to use to make a correct diagnosis. If you are relying too much on special tests during your assessments, finding a clear diagnosis at the shoulder, is almost impossible. Listen to this podcast episode to discover why all New Grad’s make the same mistakes with the shoulder… Learn my shoulder assessment game-changer and… Find out exactly the best ‘special’ tests to use with your shoulder assessments. Enjoy the show! PS. Andy would love to hear your feedback on this podcast. Please leave a review or get in touch at [email protected] and he will get right back to you.
