Mixed Reality (MR): Blends real and virtual objects, allowing interactive therapy sessions. Extended Reality (XR): An umbrella term for AR, VR, and MR, covering all immersive technologies. 2. Applications in Physical Therapy a. Physical Therapy Education AR/VR/MR technologies are revolutionizing physiotherapy education by enhancing anatomical learning, clinical skills training, and patient simulations: Anatomy and Biomechanics Visualization: AR apps like ...

The shoulder flexion jam test  is also known as the Neer's test¹¹. It is a special test for shoulder impingement syndrome, which is a condition that results from compression of the rotator cuff tendons or the subacromial bursa under the acromion process of the scapula¹. The procedure of the shoulder flexion jam test is as follows²⁴: - The examiner stands behind the patient and stabilizes the scapula with one hand. - The examiner passively flexes the patient's shoulder and elbow to 90 degrees, then pronates the forearm and internally rotates the shoulder with some force. - The test is positive if the patient reports pain, especially near the end range of motion. The shoulder flexion jam test can help rule out cervical neck pathology as a source of shoulder pain, as well as other shoulder conditions such as rotator cuff tear, biceps tendinitis, or glenoid labrum injury⁷⁹. However, the test is not very specific and may produce false-positive results in patients with osteoarthritis...

The salute test is also known as the Yergason's test¹ or the transverse humeral ligament test². It is a special test for the shoulder joint that evaluates the stability of the long head of the biceps tendon and the integrity of the transverse humeral ligament³. The procedure of the salute test is as follows⁴: - The patient stands or sits with the elbow flexed to 90 degrees and the forearm pronated. - The examiner stands behind the patient and places one hand on the patient's elbow and the other hand on the patient's wrist. - The examiner resists the patient's active supination and external rotation of the forearm, while palpating the bicipital groove with the thumb of the hand on the elbow. - The test is positive if the patient reports pain or a snapping sensation in the bicipital groove, indicating a subluxation or dislocation of the biceps tendon or a tear of the transverse humeral ligament. The salute test can help rule out biceps tendon pathology, such as tendinitis...

The appreciation test. The appreciation test is also known as the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) or the picture interpretation technique⁴. It is a projective psychological test that involves describing ambiguous scenes to learn more about a person's emotions, motivations, and personality⁴. The procedure of the appreciation test is as follows⁴: - The person is shown a series of picture cards depicting a variety of ambiguous characters, scenes, and situations. - The person is asked to tell as dramatic a story as they can for each picture presented, including what has led up to the event, what is happening, the thoughts and feelings of the characters, and the outcome of the story. - The examiner interprets the person's responses based on the themes, conflicts, and needs that are expressed. The appreciation test can help rule out or identify psychological conditions, such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders, or thought disorders⁶. It can also be used to assess someone...
