Background: Various tools are available for assessing disability in upper limb musculoskeletal disorders but there is a need to find a safe, quick, condition specific and more accurate assessment tool to assess upper limb disability in frozen shoulder patients.

Objective: To find a correlation in between the scores of QuickDASH-9, SPADI and F12S tools.

Methodology: In this study 60 subjects, both male and female were taken between age group (51±5.374 years) . Patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder (phase-1) were included in the study based on their orthopedic assessment and inclusion criteria. QuickDASH-9, SPADI and F12S were then administered for assessing pain and disability in these patients.

Result: Correlation was observed between SPADI, Quick DASH-9 and F12S scores at p

Interpretation and conclusion: All the 3 tools can be used to assess pain and disability in frozen shoulder patients (phase I). Quick DASH-9 is simple, quick and subjective tool based on functional activity questions and assesses disability of shoulder , arm and hand while F12S is more condition specific tool that assesses only shoulder joint and muscle pathology. F12S has both subjective and objective components. Hence it can be considered as a more specific tool for assessing disability in frozen shoulder patients.
