Description
Tomonobu Ishigaki and seventeen co-authors adapted a shoulder and elbow questionnaire for Japan in a 2024 study. The score, designed for overhead athletes like baseball players, picks up small changes in arm function. No Japanese version existed, and the original format needs a printed line that athletes mark by hand.
The team translated the questionnaire and adjusted it for Japanese culture, then tested it on 318 athletes. Scores proved steady over repeat tests and lined up with a known disability scale. The team also built a version that uses a simple ten-point scale instead of the printed line. That version, tested on 273 athletes, matched the standard format well. An online-friendly format means teams can collect the score by phone or form. The work gives Japanese sports medicine a validated tool in both formats.
