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

SHOULDER ASSESSMENT SERIES PART 10: NEER TEST FOR SUBACROMIAL PAIN SYNDROME (SPS) The Neer Test is the second standard test in the assessment of Subacromial Pain Syndrome aka Shoulder Impingement Syndrome. Without adequate external rotation in the glenohumeral joint (usually 90°) above 90° of flexion our shoulder will have a hard time reaching full range of motion in abduction and flexion.(both around 180°) With forced internal rotation like in the Neer Test, the tuberculum majus will hit the ro
