The Hawkins-Kennedy Impingement Test is a test used to determine rotator cuff impingement syndrome.

Impingement syndrome is a condition in which there are multiple possible causes, including:
 * Direct or blunt trauma to the anterior shoulder
 * Falling on the outstretched arm ("FOOSH") which results in compression of the supraspinatus tendon in the subacromial space
 * Excessive overhead activities, such as throwing
 * Muscle weakness/imbalance
