Video 2.1. The Jobe Test

The examiner demonstrates the appropriate technique for the Jobe test on the patient’s right and left shoulders. The patient is seated on the examiner’s table. Both arms are placed in 90 degrees of abduction, angled forward 30 degrees, and internally rotated so that the thumbs face the floor. The examiner first applies a downward force to the patient’s left arm, asking the patient to resist the force and keep his arm level. The examiner then performs the same maneuver on the patient’s right arm.
