Shoulder Relocation Test | Anterior Shoulder Instability Assessment<\/h2>\nThe shoulder joint has a tremendous degree of mobility, which renders it prone to instability. While muscle forces control stability in mid-ranges of motion, clinical instability presents itself at end range of motion. The instability becomes apparent when a patient has apprehension or, fear of subluxation, at the end range of motion.\n\nThe shoulder Relocation test is usually performed directly after a positive Shoulder Apprehension Test<\/a>. has a sensitivity of 64.6% and specificity of 90.2% according to Hegedus et al. (2012)<\/a> and has a moderate clinical value for including or confirming anterior instability.\n
