Correction on the previous comment: a neutral position of the shoulder would be with the palm forward, as in anatomical position. A thumb up position would be in internal rotation.
This Neer's test indicates that the patient's position be held in IR and pronation and THEN moved to shoulder flexion. However, when looking at other Neer's tests and reading online, in books and in my test/text books, it indicates that the patient's arm is in neutral (thumb up). Some videos/text explains that you can IR and ER the shoulder after maximal flexion to see if you can hear/feel clunking or grinding. Are there different variations to the Neer's test?
correction: if pain, it suggests tendinitis of the supraspinatus, not of the long head of the biceps. Great video anyway!
