Brief Summary

Test the psychometric properties of translated arabic version of the Fremantle shoulder awareness questionnaire in patients with chronic shoulder pain

Conditions

Chronic Shoulder Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• validity

  questionnaires will be given to chronic painful shoulder patients. Face validity and content validity will be tested by asking physiotherapists who are experienced for \> five years if arabic version of the fremantle shoulder awareness questionnaire is easy to use and its contents relevant to the title. construct validity will be tested by applying questionnaires to patients with chronic shoulder pain as gold standard: cross-culturally adapted arabic version of the fremantle shoulder awareness questionnaire(score 0-36, Higher scores indicate greater levels of disturbed bodily self-awareness),Pain Visual Analogue Scale(score 0-100, higher score indicates greater pain intensity), the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire(score 0-100 and higher score indicates greater disability),the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (score 0-10, higher score indicates pain and disability) and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale(score 0-52, higher score indicates high pain perception)

  One week

• Reliability

  The participants will fill in the Fremantle shoulder awareness questionnaire Arabic version again after 5-7 days without any intervening physical therapy session between those two occasions and at the same time of day to assess the test-retest reliability of the scale. Its overall score ranges from 0-36. Higher scores are associated with greater levels of disturbed bodily self-awareness

  one week

• feasibility (the time needed to fill out the translated Arabic version of the fremantle shoulder awareness questionnaire.)

  The researcher will calculate the time needed to fill out the translated Arabic version of the fremantle shoulder awareness questionnaire.

  one week
