Shoulder Clinical Examination - Medical School Clinical Skills - Dr Gill

Shoulder Clinical Examination - Medical School Clinical Skills - Dr Gill Personally, I find the shoulder examination the most complex examination possibly as there are so many variations and special tests. Some of which overlap and some will relate specifically to a patients presentation. Often in a medical school syllabus, only select special tests will be used. In this shoulder exam demonstration, we include the Hawkins-Kennedy Test looking for impingement. This is dovetailed with examination for bicipital tendonitis as this is another possible cause of impingement type symptoms. This shoulder upper limb exam follows the standard "Look, Feel, Move" orthopaedic exam approach, and overall order as set out in MacLeods Clinical Examination Watch further orthopaedic examinations for your OSCE revision: The Spine Examination: https://youtu.be/pJxMHa6SCgU Knee Examination https://youtu.be/oyKH4EYfJDM Hip Joint Clinical Examination https://youtu.be/JC9GKq5nSdQ ________ Please note that there is no ABSOLUTE way to perform a clinical examination. Different institutions and even clinicians will have differing degrees of variations - the aim is the effectively identify medically relevant signs. However during OSCE assessments. Different medical schools, nursing colleges, and other health professional courses will have their own preferred approach to a clinical assessment - you should concentrate on THEIR marks schemes for your assessments. The examination demonstrated here is derived from Macleods Clinical Examination - a recognized standard textbook for clinical skills. #ShoulderExamination #ClinicalSkills #DrGill
