dynamic rotator stability test

[linbin]

hello
i would like to know whether any study has been done on dynamic rotator stability test.the test tries to detect dynamic instability of glenohumeral joint due to ineffective rotator cuff activity.if any body knows please let me know.thanks in advance

Can you give us a reference on this test so we can find out more specifically what you mean?

There are two tests in fact, and these have been described by Margarey & Jones from the university of South Australia, Adelaide.

Here is the reference from Manual therapy in 2003. I have a pdf of this one so I can put it up here.... Can I do that without breaking any copyright issues?
I am not aware of any additional studies on these tests.

Specific evaluation of the function of force couples relevant for stabilization of the glenohumeral joint.
Magarey ME, Jones MA.

Two clinical evaluation procedures for assessment of dynamic stability of the glenohumeral joint are presented in this paper, together with the biomedical evidence on which they are based. They are the Dynamic Rotary Stability Test (DRST) and the Dynamic Relocation Test (DRT). The purpose of the tests is presented and the technique required to perform the tests are described in detail.
