Reply to the Letter to the Editor Regarding 'Clinical assessment of subacromial shoulder impingement - Which factors differ from the asymptomatic population?'

Thank you for your comments regarding the recent publication ‘Clinical Assessment of Subacromial Shoulder Impingement – Which Factors Differ from the Asymptomatic Population?’ Not surprisingly, impingement is a term which does not reflect the underlying cause of all shoulder pain. Hence there is healthy debate, especially amongst physical therapists, regarding alternate terminology (Braman, Zhao, Lawrence, Harrison, & Ludewig, 2013; J. S. Lewis, 2011; McFarland et al., 2013). However, it continues to be a term used throughout the medical literature and in an attempt to embrace this wider audience, until there is agreement about terminology, it was chosen for use in this paper.
