Shoulder Assessment Series Part 9: Jobe / Empty Can Test The Jobe or Empty can test is one of the standard tests to assess for Shoulder Assessment Syndrome. You would expect it to be positive with (external) subacromial shoulder impingement syndrome and negative with internal posteriosuperior glenoid impingement according to Cools et al. (2008). The test is also used to assess a lesion of the supraspinatus tendon together with the Full Can Test. | Physiotutors

Turning a page might look simple, but it’s a powerful test of adaptability and control. In the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test, the “Simulated Page Turning” task measures how efficiently a person can manipulate lightweight, flexible materials — movements that reflect daily activities like flipping through papers, sorting mail, or reading a book. Here, Anni demonstrates how she adapts to performing fine motor tasks with a prosthesis. Using the Ability Hand, she compensates for limited wrist moti

Pouring soda from a can, something we do without thinking, is actually a real test of control, coordination, and grip precision when measured in the lab. In the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test, the “Pouring from a Can” task evaluates how precisely a hand can grasp, tilt, and pour liquid without spilling — skills essential for real-world independence. Using the Ability Hand, Annika demonstrates how a bionic hand manages complex motions that require both strength and finesse, simulating one of th
