title: [Examining the shoulder in general practice].
abstract: When the cause of pain or the loss of function lies in the shoulder area itself, in most cases it can be related to a certain anatomical structure by means of a precise clinical examination. The individual tests are depicted in illustrations and concise texts. As a memory aid, the structure being tested has been added in each picture. Also, the clinically most relevant trigger points are depicted, along with their corresponding pseudoradicular symptomatology (referred pain). The aim of this article is to assist in the day-to-day treatment of common shoulder problems.
