Table Slide Shoulder Flexion test for early assessment following proximal humeral fracture: development and reliability
The novel Table Slide Shoulder Flexion test is a reliable tool for measuring shoulder flexion in the early phase after proximal humeral fractures. It may be useful for tracking individual changes over time and as an outcome measure in group comparisons research. Further studies are needed to investigate its intertester reliability, responsiveness, and validity.
