Shoulder pain is one of the common musculoskeletal disorders. A self- administered patient-based questionnaire has an important role for evaluate shoulder disabilities and also it is helpful for assess the treatment success.The purpose of this study is to determine the Turkish version of the Shoulder Rating Questionnaire (SRQ) and assign reliability and validity in Turkish patients.The Turkish version of the Shoulder Rating Questionnaire (SRQ-T) will be applied to patients after translation from English into Turkish. 122 patients will be participate to the study. Patients who were over 18 years with various shoulder pain complaints will be included into the study. The patients with mixed-type pain, cancer pain, headache, substance abuse, severe depression and fibromyalgia syndrome will be excluded. The musculoskeletal and neurological examinations of the patients will be performed. The Turkish version of the Shoulder Rating Questionnaire (SRQ-T) and Disabilities of arm, shoulder, hands-T (DASH-T) will be applied to all patients.~SRQ-T and DASH-T will be collected in two sessions with at last three days between the sessions for pre-assessment and post-assessment. Reliability of SRQ-T questionnaire will be tested by internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Internal consistency will be evaluated by determining intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with 95% confidence interval, ranged between 0 and 1.~To determine the internal consistency of the five domains of SRQ-T, Cronbach's alfa coefficient will be computed for both pre- and post-assessment of the questionnaire. The test-retest method with Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test will be used to determine reliability of SRQ-T and its domains. Then, Spearman correlation coefficients will be used to assess the discriminant validity of SRQ-T for evaluation of shoulder pain. The Spearman correlation coefficient score more than 0.70 will be accepted for reliability
