Painful Arc Test: Rheumatology Shoulder Physical Exam Special Tests

How does Frozen Shoulder behave in comparison to rotator cuff impingement?

[@AlbertaRheumatology]

The shoulder will have limited to no range of motion in all directions for Frozen Shoulder. For rotator cuff, range of motion may be limited, but it's due to pain. It can often be overcome on passive range of motion as compared to active range of motion. Certainly, they can both exist on a continuum. Great Question!
