The SPADI is the most frequently evaluated PROM and its measurement properties seem adequate apart from a lack of information regarding its measurement error and content validity .
Dutch users could use either the SDQ or the SST .
In Tamil , Slovene , Spanish and the Danish language s , the evaluated PROMs were not yet of acceptable validity .
None of these PROMs showed strong positive evidence for all measurement properties .
Objective To critically appraise and compare the measurement properties of self-administered patient-reported outcome measures ( PROMs ) focussing on the shoulder , assessing “ activity limitations . ”
A comparison of functional, patient-based scores in subacromial impingement.
The goal of this study was to compare the  Oxford Shoulder Score ( OSS ) , the  Shoulder Pain and Disability Index ( SPADI ) , and the Short Form 36 ( SF-36 ) for their correlation , agreement , sensitivity to change , and test-retest reliability in patients with a clinical diagnosis of subacromial impingement . All patients attending a specialist subacromial impingement clinic over a 6-month period completed the OSS , SPADI , and SF-36 at each visit . A total of 323 sets of observations were recorded in 110 patients . The first 38 of these patients were also sent the question naires to complete before their visit . There was good correlation between the OSS and SPADI scores ( correlation coefficient = 0.85 ) and good agreement between the scores on each scale ( weighted kappa = 0.79 ) . The correlation with total SF-36 was poor ( 0.37 for OSS and 0.26 for SPADI ) . The OSS and SPADI showed good effect sizes compared with the total SF-36 score and good test-retest reliability . These data support the use of the OSS or SPADI in patients with subacromial impingement
