In vivo anatomy of the Neer and Hawkins sign positions for shoulder impingement.
The Neer and Hawkins impingement signs are commonly used to diagnose subacromial pathology, but the anatomy of these maneuvers has not been well elucidated in vivo. This 3-dimensional open magnetic resonance imaging study characterized shoulder anatomy and rotator cuff impingement in 8 normal volunteers placed in the Neer and Hawkins positions. Subacromial and intraarticular contact of the rota...
متن کاملAnatomical validity of the Hawkins-Kennedy test--a pilot study.
PURPOSE Despite routine use, clinical tests used to diagnose subacromial impingement often display poor diagnostic accuracy. A lack of anatomical validity may contribute to the poor diagnostic accuracy. The current study aimed to examine the anatomical validity of measuring subacromial pressure in the Hawkins-Kennedy impingement test in a cadaveric shoulder. METHODS Subacromial pressures were...
متن کاملIntra- and interexaminer reliability of four manual shoulder maneuvers used to identify subacromial pain.
Shoulder pain is a diagnostic challenge and the physical clinical examination of the shoulder is crucial. It is important that the diagnostic tests used are valid as well as reliable. The objective of the study was to assess intra- and interexaminer reliability for four manual shoulder maneuvers; the Neer impingement sign, the Hawkins-Kennedy impingement test, the Patte maneuver, the Jobe supra...
متن کاملPhysical examination tests of the shoulder: a systematic review with meta-analysis of individual tests.
OBJECTIVE To compile and critique research on the diagnostic accuracy of individual orthopaedic physical examination tests in a manner that would allow clinicians to judge whether these tests are valuable to their practice. METHODS A computer-assisted literature search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus databases (1966 to October 2006) using keywords related to diagnostic accuracy of physica...
متن کاملDoes a positive neer impingement sign reflect rotator cuff contact with the acromion?
BACKGROUND One possible cause of shoulder pain is rotator cuff contact with the superior glenoid (cuff-glenoid contact) with the arm in flexion, as occurs during a Neer impingement sign. It has been assumed that the pain with a Neer impingement sign on physical examination of the shoulder was secondary to the rotator cuff making contact with the anterior and lateral acromion. QUESTIONS/PURPOS...
