“…They concluded that ultrasound is a highly accurate diagnostic method for detecting full-thickness rotator cuff tears, but is less sensitive in detecting partial-thickness rotator cuff tears. This is in agreement with the results of Norregaard et al (2002) who found ultrasound to be less sensitive for detecting partialthickness rotator cuff tears and ruptures of the biceps tendons. Nonetheless ultrasound is quick, non-invasive, and relatively inexpensive; hence it should be used wherever possible to improve diagnosis and treatment of painful shoulder even though the effectiveness of ultrasound is dependent on the type of disorder and the skills and experience levels of the operator (O 'Connor et al, 2005).…”

“…Although many of the clinical diagnostic criteria for these specific shoulder disorders have been widely published and taught, perhaps because of the complex anatomical and functional structure, there is evidence to suggest that these patho-anatomical classification systems do not generally perform reliably in practice [23][24][25][26][27]. Their validity, at least in population and workplace studies, has also been questioned.…”

Shoulder pain is very common and causes substantial morbidity. Standardised classification systems based upon presumed patho-anatomical origins have proved poorly reproducible and hampered epidemiological research. Despite this, there is evidence that exposure to combinations of physical workplace strains such as overhead working, heavy lifting and forceful work as well as working in an awkward posture increase the risk of shoulder disorders. Psychosocial risk factors are also associated. There is currently little evidence to suggest that either primary prevention or treatment strategies in the workplace are very effective and more research is required, particularly around the cost-effectiveness of different strategies. KeywordsShoulder pain; impingement syndrome; frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis); rotator cuff Introduction and ScopeAccording to population surveys, shoulder pain affects 18-26% of adults at any point in time [1][2][3][4], making it one of the most common regional pain syndromes. Symptoms can be persistent and disabling in terms of an individual's ability to carry out daily activities both at home and in the workplace [5,6]. There are also substantial economic costs involved, with increased demands on health care, impaired work performance, substantial sickness absence, and early retirement or job loss [7][8][9][10].The shoulder has evolved to withstand heavy physical demands and to do so over an unusually wide range of motion. To achieve this, it is not a simple 'ball and socket' joint but rather a complex composed of four articulations and a supporting arrangement of bones, muscles and ligaments within and outside of the joint capsule. However, its complexity and the nature of the demands on it make it susceptible to a range of articular and peri-articular

“…Only acceptable interexaminer reliability was reported by NØrregaard et al (2002) in patients with longstanding shoulder pain. For Neer impingement sign, good interexaminer reliability was reported when patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain were evaluated (Dromerick et al, 2006).…”

Introduction: Shoulder pain is a diagnostic challenge and the physical clinical examination of the shoulder is crucial. It is important that the diagnostic tests used are valid as well as reliable.Objective: The objective of the study was to assess intra-and interexaminer reliability for four manual shoulder maneuvers; the Neer impingement sign, the Hawkins-Kennedy impingement test, the Patte maneuver, the Jobe supraspinatus test. These maneuvers are frequently used in clinical practice to examine patients with shoulder complaints in which subacromial pain is highly suspected.Methods: Thirty-three participants with shoulder pain were included consecutively. Within a week from inclusion, the four maneuvers were performed by a physiotherapist. The procedure was standardized in order to increase reproducibility. After a week, the maneuvers were performed again by the same physical therapist (test-retest) and by another physical therapist (test for interexaminer reliability). Results
