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
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 Jobe test (ie, “empty can” test) evaluates for both SAI and supraspinatus pathology. To perform this test, the examiner abducts the patient’s arm to 90° in the scapular plane (30° from the coronal plane) and internally rotates the wrist so that the thumb is facing the ground with the elbow extended.
21 mar 2024 · Jobe’s test is performed with the patient standing with both shoulders abducted to 90 degrees, horizontally adducted approximately 30 degrees, and internally rotated so the patient’s thumbs point to the floor. In this position, the examiner resists the patient’s attempt to abduct both shoulders.
Tests for detecting such lesions include active compression, Speeds test, anterior slide test, Crank test, Yergason’s test, relocation test, biceps load test and the modified dynamic labral shear test.
The sensitivity of Jobe’s test to detect supraspinatus tears ranged from 19% to 99% and specificity ranged from 39% to 100% when increased pain or weakness was a considered as a positive test. The lift-off test had a sensitivity ranging from 6%–79% and specificity ranging from 23%–100% for detection of subscapularis tears.
