It is performed by passively elevating the patient's arm through the full range of motion while stabilizing the scapula. A positive sign is pain, which suggests that the rotator cuff tendons or subacromial bursa are being compressed against the coracoacromial arch. | International College of Applied Kinesiology-U.S.A.

16 reactions | Shoulder Assessment Series Part 10: Neer Test The Neer Test is the second standard test in the assessment of Shoulder Impingement syndrome. The biomechanical logic behind it is that with internal rotation and flexion, you are creating less room in the subacromial space and the tuberculum majus will eventually hit the the roof of the acromion during flexion without an external rotation component. | Physiotutors | Facebook
