Video 1.6. The Jobe Test on the Right Shoulder

The examiner performs the Jobe test on the patient’s right shoulder. The test is considered positive if pain or weakness is elicited by the maneuver. This indicates weakness of the supraspinatus muscle and/or subacromial impingement. The patient here is unable to resist the examiner’s downward applied force to his right shoulder, indicating weakness and a positive test.
