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 and Jobe's Test. [2]
For the diagnosis of impingement disease, the best combination of tests were "any degree (of) a positive Hawkins–Kennedy test, a positive painful arc sign, and weakness in external rotation with the arm at the side", to diagnose a full thickness rotator cuff tear, the best combination of tests, when all three are positive, were the painful ...
He visited a troubled childhood friend who had become a shut-in, just to keep him company. He made plans to get back in the gym with his best friend, and he apologized to his former girlfriend, hoping for a second chance. “It was the most wonderful conversation we ever had,” Stacey Hawkins recalled. “I said, ‘Everything’s going to be OK.
For impingement, these tests include the Hawkins-Kennedy impingement sign, in which an examiner medially rotates the injured individual's flexed arm, forcing the supraspinatus tendon against the coracoacromial ligament and so producing pain if the test is positive, [42] a positive painful arc sign, and weakness in external rotation with the arm ...
