(2008). According to the meta-analysis done by Hegedus et al.(2012) that we have mentioned in the last videos as well, this test has a sensitivity of 72% and a specificity of 60%.

SUBACROMIAL PAIN SYNDROME (SAPS): THE NEER TEST Like mentioned yesterday Michener et al. (2009) describes a cluster of 5 tests, which alters the post-test probability with 3 or more positive tests out of 5 by LR 2.93 and less than 3 positive out of 5 with LR- 0.34. This is still not much, but still better than a stand-alone test. These 5 tests are: Hawkins-Kennedy, Neer test, external rotation test, painful arc, and empty can (Jobe). Reliability was moderate to substantial agreement (kappa=.45-.
