physical function and pain
The Shoulder pain and disability index in the numerical version consists of 13 items distributed in the domain of pain (five items) and function (eight items), each item being scored on a numerical rating scale of 0 to 10 points. The final score of the questionnaire, as well as the score obtained separately by each domain, is converted into a percentage for values ranging from 0 to 100, with the highest score indicating worse shoulder dysfunction condition.
