The scapular retraction test stabilizes the scapula in a retracted and grades the strength of the supraspinatus muscle. The neutral retracted scapular position improves the strength of the supraspinatus, allowing it to produce maximum force capacity compared to excessive protracted or retracted scapular positions.[1][2]
