Empty Can and Full Can Test for Shoulder Supraspinatus Injuries

Dr. Sarah Pye demonstrates the Empty and Full Can Test's. The Empty Can Test (ECT) was originally described by Jobe and Moynes to test integrity of the supraspinatus tendon. Kelly later proposed the Full Can Test (FCT) as an alternative as though EMG activity in the supraspinatus was similar in both positions the FCT was less provocative. It was therefore less likely to result in muscle weakness due to pain provocation.FCT
