Both the lift-off test and the belly-press test primarily challenge the subscapularis muscle. The subscapularis muscle has two separate innervations and function, while both tests stimulate the upper and lower portions of subscapularis muscle. A study by Tokish JM et al comparing the lift-off test and the belly-press test, concluded that the lift-off test activated the lower subscapularis muscle more and the belly-press test activated the upper subscapularis muscle more.

Purpose[edit|edit source]

The belly-press test is used to isolate thesubscapularis muscle测试肩胛下肌撕裂或来描述function. It is often used as an alternative to thelift-off test, when the lift-off test can’t be performed because of pain or limited internal rotation range of motion of the shoulder.[1][2]

Technique[edit|edit source]

The patient sits or stands with the elbow flexed to 90 degrees, with the palm of the hand on the upper abdomen, just below the xyphoid process.

The patient is asked to press the palm of the hand against the abdomen, through shoulder internal rotation.

The test is positive for subscapularis muscle dysfunction if the patient compensates the movement through started wrist flexion, shoulder adduction and shoulder extension. This unconscious compensatory movement would result in the elbow dropping behind the trunk.[1][2]

Evidence[edit|edit source]

The sensitivity of belly-press test in the diagnosis subscapularis muscls tear is 0.34 and specificity is 0.96. If only grade 2-4 tears were analyzed the sensitivity was 0.37 and specificity was 0.92.[4]
