Execution:
- The patient is in sitting position with a straight back
- The examiner places their middle finger on top and behind of the clavicle
- Passively bring the patient’s shoulder into full flexion and palpate the movement of the clavicle
Positive Outcome: Clavicle deviates from the normal movement during anteflexion, which is elevation and forward rotation until at about 45° of flexion and moves downwards and makes a posterior rotation from 45° on.
