Abstract
The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) was developed to measure shoulder pain and disability. The objective of this short communication was to explore the measurement properties of SPADI. There were studies on measurement procedure, reliability and validity, predictors, comparison with other measures such as Shoulder Disability Questionnaire (SDQ), Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) index and Oxford Shoulder Scale (OSS), and studies on cross-cultural adaptation into German and Italian languages. The SPADI had good clinometric properties warranting its routine use in orthopedic practice, education, research and administration.
