Just what we need in the MSK world!
Another pointless ‘sPeCiAl’ test that doesn’t tell us anything more than a good history and simple exam… and doesn’t help in anyway decide how to help someone with shoulder pain! 🤦♂️

Pain intensity measures don’t only measure pain intensity… they also measure pain distress!
When someone says their pain is 10/10… often they’re saying “I’m really struggling, please take me seriously”
