title: [Clinical examination of the shoulder].
abstract: As a consequence of the capacious mobility and great strain, the glenohumeral joint happens to be a frequent site of tenderness or pain. The physician is used to consider the differential diagnosis of "shoulder-arm-pain". Unfortunately he is hardly ever capable to practise himself the special techniques required for the examination of the glenohumeral joint. By a precise clinical examination the exact anatomical localisation of the painful structure can be found in almost every case.
