Hyperabduction Test. In this test, the examiner first palpates a radial pulse. The positioning of the upper extremity is then achieved by the subject hyperabducting the shoulder and flexing the elbow to 90 degrees. The head is then rotated toward the non-test side. This has also been described with bilateral upper extremity positioning. The test has not been well studied for clinical value.
