Samenvatting

This chapter presents a clinical scenario of a 48-year-old male who went to an orthopedic surgeon with shoulder complaints. Subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) causes pain, impairment in daily activities and work, and a clear and unambiguous anatomical substrate is lacking. SAPS is a clinical diagnosis and can be caused or accompanied with different traumatic or degenerative changes of the shoulder. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound are widely used in investigating patients with complaints of their shoulder. The Hawkins-Kennedy test can be used for diagnosing SAPS because of its high sensitivity. It should be used combined with other shoulder tests because this will lead to rising sensitivity and specificity. The chapter also provides recommendations for implementing evidence-based practice in the clinical setting.
