@mowtnman Prontation isn't wrong - this is just how the test was originally described:
1. The patient is standing and the examiner stands behind the patient.
2. The examiner stabilizes the scapula with one hand and forward-flexes the arm (hand at elbow) with the other hand until the patient reports pain or until full elevation is reached.
3. A positive test is when there is pain in the anterior or
lateral part of the shoulder, typically in a range of 90° to 140°
Purpose of the test is to assess for subacromial impingement:
Range of scores from the studies:
Sensitivity = 0.75-0.89
Specificity = 0.30-0.47
Positive Likelihood Ratio = 1.27-1.42
Negative Likelihood Ratio = 0.37-0.53
Systematic review of literature through mid-2006. Included studies with at least an 30 subjects with rotator cuff disease, established reference criteria, and clear definitions of positive and negative.

I believe her hand is supposed to be fully pronated as well during this examination
