  2. Neer impingement test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neer_Impingement_Test

    Neer test for subacromial impingement. The Neer impingement test is a test designed to reproduce symptoms of rotator cuff impingement through flexing the shoulder and pressure application. Symptoms should be reproduced if there is a problem with the supraspinatus or biceps brachii. [1] This test is also associated with the Hawkins-Kennedy Test ...

    Neer Impingement Test: a positive test indicates shoulder impingement syndrome; Hawkins–Kennedy test: a positive test indicates shoulder impingement syndrome; Empty beer can test: a positive test indicates rotator cuff tear, specifically, supraspinatus muscle tear

  4. Shoulder impingement syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_impingement_syndrome

    However, imaging studies are unable to show cause of shoulder pain in diagnosing. For example, MRI imaging would show rotator cuff pathology and bursitis but is unable to specify the cause. [15] On physical exam, the physician may twist or elevate the patient's arm to test for reproducible pain (the Neer sign and Hawkins-Kennedy test).

  5. Rotator cuff tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff_tear

    Another common impingement test is the neer test. [44] The neer test is performed by the examiner maximally forward flexing the patient's arm with the scapula in a depressed position. Localized pain on the anterior shoulder suggests subacromial impingement, whereas posterior shoulder pain suggests internal impingement. [45]

  6. Hawkins–Kennedy test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawkins–Kennedy_test

    The Hawkins–Kennedy Test is a test used in the evaluation of orthopedic shoulder injury. It was first described in the 1980s by Canadians R. Hawkins and J. Kennedy, and a positive test is most likely indicative of damage to the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle. [1] [2]

  7. Empty can/Full can tests - Wikipedia

    In both tests, the patient is placed in a standing or sitting position, and the arms are raised parallel to the ground in the scapular plane. [2] The tests differ in the rotation of the arm; in the empty can test, the arm is rotated to full internal rotation (thumb down) and in the full can test, the arm is rotated to 45° external rotation, thumb up.

  9. Subacromial bursitis - Wikipedia

    The patient performs an isometric flexion contraction against resistance of the therapist (Speed’s Test). When the therapist’s resistance is removed, a sudden jerking motion results and latent pain indicates a positive test for bursitis. [8] Neer’s Sign: If pain occurs during forward elevation of the internally rotated arm above 90°.
