Purpose
[edit | edit source]

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

Technique
[edit | edit source]

The examiner should stabilize the patient's scapula with one hand, while passively flexing the arm while it is internally rotated.  If the patient reports pain in this position, then the result of the test is considered to be positive.
