This is going to be a video on the Hawkins Kennedy Test for shoulder impingement Hi and welcome back to Physiotutors The Hawkins Kennedy Test is a commonly used test in the assessment of shoulder impingement. According to a big study done by Hedgedus et. al in the year 2012, the sensitivity is at 80% and its specificity is rated at 56% To perform the Hawkins Kennedy Test have your patient at sitting position. Elevate the arm to 90 degrees of forward flexion and have it rest on one of your arms. Then perform passive internal rotation. A positive test is the provocation of pain. If your patient has pain during the test, this can be an indication of a subacromial impingement. The test will be negative in a patient with an internal impingement.
