Each test includes a brief description, what it assesses, and reliability/specificity information based on available evidence. 1. Neer Impingement Test Procedure : The patient sits or stands. The examiner stabilizes the scapula with one hand while passively flexing the arm in the scapular plane to near full elevation. Internal rotation is added.
