Musculoskeletal System
A 64-year-old man in an outpatient clinic reports right shoulder weakness that began after he lifted a heavy box 3 weeks ago. The figure shows his right shoulder abduction measured in standing. Resisted external rotation is 3-/5 and only mildly painful, and he cannot slowly lower the arm from 90° of abduction. These findings are MOST consistent with:
Right shoulder abduction, anterior view
Abduction angles are measured from the trunk reference line. Figure not drawn to scale.
