CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?
It organizes common shoulder-related symptoms into urgent warning signs, injury concerns, and effects on movement or daily activities. It does not diagnose a condition.
How long does it take to complete and how many items are included?
Completion time is about 10 minutes. The questionnaire includes 15 questions.
How should the results be interpreted?
Scores are unvalidated summaries meant to reflect the pattern and impact of reported symptoms. They are not clinical cutoffs and should not be used to confirm or rule out a diagnosis.
When is urgent medical care recommended?
Seek urgent care for chest pressure, trouble breathing, sudden weakness, a cold or blue arm, major deformity, uncontrolled bleeding, or severe illness. Do not wait for symptoms to improve in these situations.
What time period should be considered when answering?
Answer based on current symptoms and recent changes over the past several days. Use the option that best matches the typical level of pain or limitation during that period.
