Purpose
[edit | edit source]

This test is commonly used to identify possible subacromial impingement syndrome.

Technique
[edit | edit source]

The examiner first places the patient's shoulder in 90 degrees of flexion with the elbow flexed to 90 degrees, and then internally rotates the arm.  The test is considered to be positive if the patient experiences pain with internal rotation.[1]
