a. Showing painful arc i.e. pain during 60-120 degrees of abduction
b. Positive Hawkins-Kennedy test
c. Infraspinatus (External Rotation) Resistance test
The combination of these tests have a considerably higher predictive value than the individual tests (The Dutch Orthopaedic Association Guidelines)
2. Both Males and Females in the age group of 20-60 years.
1. Structural causes of Impingement (osteophytes encroachment, structural variations in the shape of acromion etc.)
