Shoulder Testing and Assessment - Adduction

Shoulder pain is a common complaint and is often a result of overuse or a direct blow injury. The dysfunctional shoulder is a common cause of recurring neck, mid-back and low back pain and a potential headache source.

Chatillon^® dynamometers are used by professionally certified Physicians, Therapists and Clinicians to accurately measure and document musculoskeletal strength and provide objective testing results as part of a preventative or rehabilitative shoulder testing and assessment program. The subject may sit or stand. The subject maintains a straight arm position with their arm extended forward. A downward resistance is applied to the forearm by the dynamometer as the subject attempts to raise their arm upward. The dynamometer measures the resistance and provides and objective reading of the force applied.
