Tests to try when your child's arm does not rise (junior shoulder)
Shoulder pain in children (junior shoulder)
When my arm didn't go up, I saw an 8-year-old child.
When examined, there was pain in the upper shoulder joint from about 120 degrees of external rotation and 90 degrees of flexion, and there was a limitation of lifting. When I raised it passively, there was a normal range of motion. This child seems to have been dozing off on the hard wooden floor.
This shoulder joint disorder is a symptom that is sometimes seen in women in their 20s and 30s, but in the case of such a child's condition with lifting limitations, such as the child's arm not being able to rise, you should focus on subluxation of the acromioclavicular joint.
If your child can't lift his arm because of pain, try it!
For example, when a child wakes up lying on the wooden floor, his arms can't go up, or when he sleeps in a strange outfit and his arms can't go up.

Paxino's Test
1. The patient will be asked to sit with his upper arm hanging down to the front of his body.
2. The examiner grasps the acromion and collarbone with one hand.
3. The examiner applies pressure to the acromioclavicular joint with the thumb and index finger
4At this time, if there is pain near the acromioclavicular joint, it will be positive.
5. If there is pain when raising the arm, the acromioclavicular joint is damaged.
There is a possibility of subluxation.
*We will upload self-coping methods at a later date.
