[TESTS] Acromioclavicular Joint Stability Test [STRUCTURES INVOLVED] Assesses integrity of the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments. Grasp the proximal forearm with one hand as you place your other hand on the mid-clavicle. Attempt to distract the acromion process from the clavicle by applying a downward force to the arm directed along the longitudinal axis of the humerus. Your fingers on the clavicle may be simultaneously used to palpate and grade the amount of separation at the acromioclavicular joint. Pain and increased movement elicited by this procedure as compared to the uninvolved shoulder may indicate a sprain to the acromioclavicular and/or coracoclavicular ligaments. [POSITION OF THE ARM] 
The patient sits on the examination table with arm at the side.
