Neer's Sign



http://www.aafp.org/afp/20000515/3079.html

Neer's Test
Neer's impingement sign is elicited when the patient's rotator cuff tendons are pinched under the coracoacromial arch. The test4 is performed by placing the arm in forced flexion with the arm fully pronated (Figure 5). The scapula should be stabilized during the maneuver to prevent scapulothoracic motion. Pain with this maneuver is a sign of subacromial impingement.
