1 Before you use it
What it is
Metadata only. Twelve items on shoulder pain and function over the past four weeks, developed for surgical outcome assessment.
A student will see this in orthopaedic correspondence, so being able to read one matters.
When to reach for it
When someone else has administered it. For your own baseline use SPADI or the Simple Shoulder Test.

Scoring
Twelve items, 0–4 each, totalling 0–48 in the current scoring. Higher is better in that version — but an older 12–60 scoring with the opposite direction also exists. Check which version a letter is quoting.
What it doesn’t measure
Instability, or sport-specific demand.
3 Reading the score
Interpreting it
Higher is better on the 0–48 scoring.
Is the change real?
Student trap. Comparing a 0–48 score to a 12–60 one. Two scoring conventions exist and they run in opposite directions.
