    3 - Shoulder Scaption

    The document describes the procedure for assessing strength of the shoulder scaption muscle group (deltoid and supraspinatus) on a scale of 0 to 5. A grade of 5 indicates normal strength where the patient can complete the available range of motion and hold against maximal resistance. A grade of 4 also completes the range but holds against strong resistance, while a grade of 3 completes range but allows no resistance other than the weight of the arm. Lower grades involve only partial range of motion or no detectable muscle activity. The test has the patient raise their arm halfway between flexion and abduction while the therapist provides resistance to assess strength.

    Position of Therapist:
    Stand in front of and slightly to the test side of patient. Hand
    used for resistance is contoured over the arm above the elbow

    Patient elevates arm halfway between flexion and abduction
    (30° to 45° anterior to coronal plane)
    Instructions to Patient:
    Raise your arm to shoulder height halfway between straight-ahead and out to the side.
    Hold it. Don't let me push your arm down.
    Grading

    Grade 5 (Normal):

    resistance.

    Grade 4 (Good):
    Completes available range and holds against strong resistance

    Grade 3 (Fair):
