Infraspinatus Tears | Special Tests | Rationale & Interpretation

The video tutorial covers the anatomy and common injuries of the infraspinatus and teres minor muscles. It explains two special tests: Hornblower's test and the resisted infraspinatus test, used to diagnose tears or degeneration in these muscles. The tutorial emphasizes that the rehabilitation approach remains the same regardless of which muscle is torn. Hornblower's test is highly sensitive and specific for detecting teres minor issues, while the resisted infraspinatus test serves as a screening tool for shoulder pathologies.

What are the psychometric properties of the Hornblower sign test?

How does the rehabilitation approach differ for tears in the infraspinatus versus the teres minor?

What are the common symptoms that indicate a positive result in the resisted infraspinatus test?
