Abstract
This study indicates the mechanisms of a full can test are a reduction in the acromial humeral distance, accompanied by scapular kinematic changes. A positive test of increased pain and reduced strength in those with subacromial pain syndrome can be explained additionally by an increase in scapular anterior tilt. These mechanistic changes may lead to tendon compression, but this cannot be verified as direct tendon compression was not measured.
