2. Clinical assessment of the upper limb
a. Clinical tests for injuries of muscles and ligaments of the shoulder girdle and shoulder joint
b. Clinical tests for injuries of muscles and ligaments of the elbow and the wrist
c. Clinical examination for selected chronic disorders of the upper limb (epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome)
d. Detailed examination for individual injuries in the upper limb (rotator cuff injuries, subacromial impingement, SLAP lesion, bursitis, shoulder instability).
