help your colleague obtain the measures. 

If you get replies with the measures electronically, or anyone else is able
to send them by email, I would be delighted to if you could send them to me
too.

Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. 

SUMMARY: Patient-completed index consisting of 13 items divided into pain
and disability subscales. A visual analogue scale is used for each item,
which is translated into a numerical score. A calculation is then required
to obtain an overall score. Scores range from 0-100, the higher scores
indicating greater impairment. TIME TAKEN (MINS): 5. TRAINING REQUIRED:
None. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: None. COST: Not given, questionnaire reproduced in
Heald (1997), and Roach (1991). Contact: Ms KE Roach MHS/PT, University of
Miami School of Medicine, Division of Physical Therapy, 5915 Ponce de Leon

Tested on age ranges 23 to 76 with musculoskeletal, neurogenic or
undetermined shoulder pain. LOCALITY OF USE: Outpatients. ORIGINAL

I'm writing on behalf of a colleague who is working with patients with
shoulder problems. She is wanting to look at using various scoring systems.
Has anyone got copies of the following systems that they could email me?
1. Shoulder Pain and Disability Index
2. Simple shoulder Test
3. Subjective Shoulder Rating Scale
 
Thanks
