The shoulder abduction relief test, also called Bakody's test, is a medical maneuver used to evaluate for cervical radiculopathy. [1] Specifically, this test is used to evaluate for nerve root compression at C5-C7. It is often used when a patient presents with neck pain that radiates down the ipsilateral upper extremity. [2]
The person's arm is brought against their side. [2] The elbow is then bent to 90 degrees and the forearm is slowly and gently externally rotated.

It is designed for true anterior/subcoracoid glenohumeral dislocations in patients who can fully adduct their humerus. [2]

They are not utilized significantly during strict transverse extension (shoulder internally rotated) such as in rowing movements, which use the posterior fibers.
