Inferior Drawer (Feagin) Test

Examination type

Joint stability, ligamentous laxity

Patient & Body Segment Positioning

The patient will stand with the involved arm abducted to 90 degrees with the elbow extended and resting on the top of the examiners shoulder so that the shoulder is completely relaxed.

Examiner Position

The examiner stands facing the involved side of the patient with the involved arm resting on his or her shoulder. The examiner’s hands are clasped together and resting on the upper 1/3 of the patient’s humerus.

Tissues Being Tested

Rotator cuff muscles, inferior glonohumeral ligament

Performing the Test

The examiner makes sure that the shoulder musculature is relaxed and then the examiner uses his clasped hands to push the head of the humerus down and forward.

Positive Test

A sulcus may be seen above the coracoid process or the patient may show apprehension to the test.

Interpretation

Indicates anteroinferior instability; may also indicate insufficiency of the inferior glenohumeral ligament

If the Sulcus test and the feagin test are both positive, it is a good indication of multidirectional instability.

Common errors in performing exam

Test should be performed bilaterally for comparison. It is also important that the shoulder be completely relaxed throughout the test.

Factors possibly resulting in misinterpretation

Joint hyper mobility
