Dawbarn's Sign

In Subacromial Bursitis, pressure over the deltoid below the acromion with the arm hanging by sides causes pain. However, when the arm is abducted pressure over the same point causes no pain, because bursa disappears under the acromion.
Subacromial or subdeltoid bursitis is usually secondary to inflammation of the supraspinatus tendon.
