Methods: This study is a retrospective secondary analysis of data that were collected to determine the interrater agreement and reliability of clinical tests for assessment of patients with shoulder pain in primary care. Results: The test cluster total agreement and negative specific agreement was 87.8 and 90.4%, respectively. The prevalence-adjusted bias-adjusted kappa for the test cluster was substantial at 0.76. There were statistically significant meaningful relationships (≥0.50) between GIRD and the test cluster for Tester A (Phi = 0.71, p < .01) and Tester B (Phi = 0.82, p < .01). No differences in disability were identified between those with a positive and negative test cluster. Conclusion: The test cluster described in this study may be a reliable means of identifying a subgroup of patients with subacromial pain syndrome related to GIRD. Future research should look to validate this test cluster prospectively.

Methods: This was a reliability and agreement study. It included asymptomatic students enrolled in the college of health professions and the college of nursing at a university. The Mann−Whitney U was used to determine whether there were any differences between the dominant and nondominant sides and between sexes for elbow extension range of motion and for sensory responses on the numeric pain rating scale when performing the MNT 1. A x 2 analysis was used to determine whether there were any differences between sexes and between dominant and nondominant upper extremities for sensory-response location, sensory-response type, and structural differentiation for raters 1 and 2. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC 2,3) was used to determine the intertester and intratester reliability for the degrees of elbow extension attained during testing. Results: Reliability for degrees of elbow extension and strength of the sensory response was excellent (ICC 2,3 ˃ 0.75) and substantial (k ≥ 0.68), respectively. Resting scapular position and all other components of the MNT 1 demonstrated statistically significant side-to-side differences and k values ranging from 0.23 to 0.88. Conclusion: Elbow extension and magnitude of sensory response are reliable components of the MNT 1 that are not different between the dominant and nondominant sides in the asymptomatic population.

It is possible that a subgroup exists within SPS that has primary impairments of scapular mobility and/or muscle strength. In an attempt to better identify scapular contributions in SPS, the Scapular Assistance Test (SAT) and Scapula Reposition Test (SRT) have been described. Additionally, thoracic spine thrust manipulation has been shown to be effective for shoulder pain. Problem Statement: It is currently unknown whether or not there are impairments in scapulothoracic muscle force generation or scapular mobility in individuals with SPS who have positive results on the SAT and SRT. It also remains unknown whether individuals with SPS respond differently in the immediate effects on scapular motion, scapulothoracic muscle force generation, pain, or function following different manipulation techniques. Methodology: Sixty subjects with shoulder pain were enrolled in the st...
