We present a new simple clinical test, to diagnose rotator cuff tears. ‘Lateral Jobe test’: The lateral Jobe test consists of the patient holding their arms in 90 degrees abduction in the coronal plane with the elbows flexed 90 degrees and the hands pointing inferiorly with the thumbs directed medially.
These were the lateral Jobe test, the Jobe supraspinatus test, strength in external rotation when compared to the normal side, and impingement testing. A consensus review was taken and the clinical tests were then validated postoperatively against the arthroscopic findings.
The Empty Can Test, also known as the Jobe or Supraspinatus test, is used to assess for lesions of the rotator cuff, specifically the supraspinatus muscle and supraspinatus tendon. Technique [edit | edit source] The patients arm is actively abducted to 90 o; The examiner applies downward resistance to the abducted arm
3 sie 2023 · Jobe test, either single- or double-arm, had low accuracy and diagnostic value in diagnosing superior-posterior RC FT tear. Better clinical testing or other diagnostic methods such as ultrasound or MRI scans should be considered with a high suspicion of the RC tear.
Jobe's test is a physical exam test that is used to detect anterior shoulder instability. It is used to distinguish between anterior instability and primary shoulder impingement. This test should be performed after the Apprehension test. [3] This test was named for Christopher Jobe.
The lateral Jobe test is performed with the patient's shoulder abducted 90° in the coronal plane and internally rotated so that with the elbows flexed 90° the fingers point inferiorly and thumbs medially.
Jobe’s empty can test was first described in 1983. This sets out to preferentially test supraspinatus (complete isolation of supraspinatus from the deltoid is difficult), the most commonly affected tendon when considering degenerative cuff disease.
