The acromiohumeral interval is measured to assess inferior glenohumeral laxity.Rotator Interval Test. While performing the sulcus test, externally rotate the arm. Healthy patients will have a reduction of inferior translation. No reduction in acromiohumeral interval is suspicious for rotator interval capsular deficiency.Jerk Test.
