The patient is asked to raise his /her arms to a position of 90-degree abduction,30 degrees of forward flexion and internal rotation(thumbs pointing to the floor, as if emptying an imaginary can) The examiner stands behind the patient and applies downward pressure on both arms, with the patient resisting this force.
