Abstract: The prevalence of shoulder pain is about 6-37 %. Shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) is most frequently used tools to evaluate disability in shoulder pain patients. Its psychometric properties are highly reliable. Currently no validated Marathi version is available. Objective is to translate, culturally adapt and validate SPADI version. The psychometric properties are evaluated by administering to questionnaire to 120 subjects with shoulder pain. Test retest reliability was estimated by test retest and internal consistency assessment. Test retest reliability of SPADI questionnaire was calculated using intra class correlation co efficient. The results shows excellent test retest reliability (ICCC.97) and concluded that spadi shows excellent test retest reliability.
