The Hawkins Kennedy Test is performed by placing the patient’s shoulder in 90 degrees of flexion with the elbow in 90 degrees of flexion. Then you internally rotate the arm. A positive test is pain with internal rotation.

However, pain can also occur if a patient has a rotator cuff tear, labral tear, or other issues of the shoulder including bursitis and tendonitis.
