Background: Range of motion (ROM) limitations can result in restricted activities of daily living (ADL) due to shoulder dysfunction, suggesting that evaluation of complex shoulder movements is necessary in clinical practice. Here, we present a new physical examination, the elbow forward translation motion (T-motion) test for measuring the position of the elbow when both dorsal hands are placed on the iliac crest in a sitting position and the elbow is moving forward. We examined the relationships between T-motion and shoulder function to identify the significance of this test in clinical practice. Methods: Preoperative patients with rotator cuff tears (RCTs) were eligible for this cross-sectional study. Active ROM and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores were measured as shoulder function. The degree of internal rotation was based on the Constant-Murley Score. We defined a positive T-motion test result as an elbow positioned posterior to the body on the sagittal plane. Group comparisons and logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate the relationships between the availability of T-motion and shoulder function. Results: Sixty-six patients with RCTs participated in this cross-sectional study. The values of the JOA total score (P |
