It is performed by passively elevating the patient's arm through the full range of motion while stabilizing the scapula. A positive sign is pain, which suggests that the rotator cuff tendons or subacromial bursa are being compressed against the coracoacromial arch. | International College of Applied Kinesiology-U.S.A.
