Video 9.2. Cross-body Adduction Test

The examiner performs the cross-body adduction test by passively raising the patient’s shoulder to 90 degrees of forward flexion. The examiner palpates the patient’s acromioclavicular joint with one hand. The examiner then horizontally adducts the patient’s arm across the body, keeping the other hand at the patient’s wrist for support. The test is considered positive if this maneuver elicits pain over the acromioclavicular joint.
